This is the case when the transform is not the final serialization to the output stream. If its a question of it being well formed xhtml coming out of the template... A simple Java class can be created to assist in this area using JTidy to process the string containing the html prior to processing it into the outputstream. > > Doing the transclusion on the client side in XSLT you could use d-o-e, > but on the client side you have another problem which is complying > with > "cross-domain" security restrictions in the browser. That applies to > JavaScript as well as XSLT of course. That depends on how your calling in your content... For instance, most of the JSON world relies on the fact that you can add javascript from an external site using xhtml script tags...
