Unsupported XML grammar with home.xsl

[jakobsz]

Just getting started with XML in combination with FM. I used filemaker site assistant te generated some xsl files (eg. home.xsl).

When addressing this file with my browser (eg. http://192.168.123.101/fmi/xsl/my_templates/home.xsl) it generated an errorcode, which refers to "unsupported XML grammar" and outputs following in my IE browser:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>

View Source for full doctype...)>

-

When checking home.xsl with XMLspy, there is following message: "Unable to locate a reference to a supported schema type (DTD, W3C Schema) within this document instance."

How do i get some usefull html output?

Thx, Jakobsz.

Put it inbetween the code tags. Use Reply button, then the button with the sign.

Although trying very hard, i don’t seem to get a grasp on the real problem. I must be doing something structurally wrong. I need some help here….. I think the fmresultset.dtd is in some way linked to the problem. When retrieving it with a http request I get the following response:

The XML page cannot be displayed 

Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cannot have a DTD declaration outside of a DTD. Error processing resource 'http://192.191.190.10/fmi/xml/fmresultset.dtd'. ...

So i generated some xml through fmresultset.xml (……/fmi/xml/fmresultset.xml?-dbnames).

The result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

When loading and validating it in XMLSpy following error message appears:

File C:Documents and SettingsmpetersDesktopfmresultset.xml could not be validated because of an error in XML Schema/DTD (see below)

	Unable to load external DTD subset via '-//FMI//DTD fmresultset//EN'. '/fmi/xml/fmresultset.dtd contains an invalid path.'

		Error location: fmresultset / PUBLIC

		Details

			WFC: External Subset: Unable to load external DTD subset via '-//FMI//DTD fmresultset//EN'. '/fmi/xml/fmresultset.dtd contains an invalid path.'

Is it the DOCTYPE declaration? or am i missing some file or......

Solved the problem of the dtd error by adding a "/" at the end.

Example:

http://[:port]/fmi/xml/fmresultset.dtd/

With an other browser on an other PC it seems to be working fine without the forwardslash. Beats me.

Did not make any progress on grammar fault yet.

According to Elizabeth Castro: "When an XML parser sees a public identifier, it can try to get a copy of the DTD from the best possible source, perhaps one that's closer or has the latest version of the DTD. If it can't find the DTD by using the public identifier, it can then resort to using the URL"

The standard DOCTYPE that's seems to be always part of the xml grammar looks like:

When edited and changed in:

There are now no grammar errors!

So how can i make this work for me?

The home.xsl looked fine in my opinion (I did not have the utilities.xsl at hand to check it completely).

I think that something went wrong with your installation. Please remove and reinstall FMSA.

TIP: I've run into this error with clients.

"The XML page cannot be displayed

Cannot view XML input using style sheet....", when the *desired* result was raw XML (transformed, of course!)

Not all browsers display this in the browser window. Sometimes you have to view the source to see the raw XML. Generally, another program will read the raw XML just fine. If you need it "human readable", consider using HTML or Text output, not XML

Problem is solved.

My lack of basic FM-CWP and XML knowlegde was the problem. Hours of reading about these topics did some good for me.

Eventually is was the ../xml/.. versus the ../xsl/.. part in the URL Address

One step back, two steps forward.

Is home.xsl a gay file?

seemed funny at the time.

I think I got a similar problem... I get an " Unable to load external DTD, schema, or entitiy source '(URL goes here.)' " error message when I try to validate a document, which works perfectly fine on a co-workers machine.

Ive tried adding the "/" at the end, like one of you guys posted, but then I cant save the document cuz it says " HTTP operation "GET" could not be performed on URL '(URL goes here)' due to an error: A connection with the server could not be established "
