XSLT Example for Apple Safari and Google Chrome Browsers...

Need an easy way to run XSL translations in Safari or Chrome browsers from 
JavaScript and AJAX?  There is a fairly simple workaround for most problems:  
call the PHP XSL conversion routines from JavaScript...

Below is the PHP routine I use for this in my JavaScript AJAX library.  
Obviously your host server must support PHP -and- have the XSL extension 
loaded, but this should be fairly standard these days.

Note this also works for RSS feed XML/XSL translations.

I'm sure you can tie this routine into your own JavaScript and AJAX calls 
but my free library has working examples to download if needed.

Hope this helps.  Best of luck.

  $xmlfile = str_replace('.xsl', '.xml', $url);

  $xml = new DomDocument();

    echo "xml file error:". $xmlfile;

  $xsl = new DomDocument;
  if (!@$xsl->load($url))
    echo "xsl file error:". $url;

  $xslProcess = new xsltprocessor();
  if (@$xslProcess->importStyleSheet($xsl))
    $results = $xslProcess->transformToXML($xml);
  else
    $results = "XSLT transformation not complete: ". $url;

  echo $results;
?>
