Can firefox translate an XML document using XSLT to get a SVG document and display it?

I can get firefox to use xslt to translate an XML document to HTML and display the result but I can't get it to translate it to SVG and render the graphic. I can use the same XML and XSLT outside firefox to produce the SVG file and firefox displays it fine. Should this be possible?

Hi, I had the same problem (with the additional constraint that I want to include the svg into a html page).

You will have to create a XSLT 1.1 Stylesheet (as FF 6.0.2 does not support XSLT 2.0)

  • ) Make sure that you set a size for your SVG graphic (I tried to embed the svg in a table and the column collapsed to 0 px - and i could not see the svg graphic)
  • ) set the xmlns in the svg tag:

<svg height="100%" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 600 400" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

  • ) a <svg><style>.. css style definition</style></svg> does not work if there is a style definition in the html section! You must define the svg styles in the single <style> </style> tag


Tip: Try to keep the xslt quite simple and add more complexity after a simple example works!

If you need a simple example to start working with that just post again here (then I will take the time to create a simpler version of what I have done).

Good luck and have fun :)

Thanks.

After the post from cor-el I posted my question to mozillaZine forum. It turned out I was using XSLT 2.0 functions. I don't want to simplify my xslt (or make it even more complicated by using only xlst 1.1 function). So I am going to wait until firefox support XSLT 2.0.

For my project I use a combination of server-side XSLT 2.0 and client side XSLT 1.0 - mainly for exploring a different approach then because this is a clever solution ;)

Do you know anything about when XLST 2.0 will be supported? It can be a while until FF or any other browser for that matter will support XSLT 2.0...

Good luck with your project anyways!
