I had someone write 4 XSLTs based on a sample xml file so that I can import the xml data into filemaker.

On my mac the process works perfectly...

-Select the XML file the xsl and so on.

When I try this on a windowz box I get the following error...

FileMaker Pro

XML parsing error;

An exception occured! Type:TranscodingException,

Message:Could no create a convertor or encoding ISO-8859-15

Line Number: 1

Column Number: 45

Now I'm no xml expert but the XSL was written on a PC and I am told the person whom wrote them tested them on a PC and they parsed fine.

What is going on?:

Thanks

With which XSLT processor did they test? Saxon?

It may be that the Xalan processor used with the Windows FM version does not support ISO-8859-15, which is a slightly modified ISO-8859-1 (e.g. certain chars exchanged, e.g. for the Euro sign).

Well I load the XML up into TextXSLT (mac) and loadup the XSL into the XSLT window hit then process it using Sablotron, Libxslt, Saxon, Xalan-J.

Easch processor shows me a results window with something along the lines of what is contained in the XML file.

Any ideas?

I did notice the text encoding was odd so I also tried moving from

Macintosh - western

to

Macintosh - Unicode UTF-8

also tried

Unicode - unicode UTF-8
