Problems transforming XML ito open in Excel

[Carl Mace <mc...@ist4.co.umist.ac.uk>]

I have seen the 2 different ways of opening excel in the browser, 
tab separated lists using <xsl:text> and normal html table format.

Neither of these seem to work.  I have added application/vnd.ms-
excel to the formatters in the properties file.

When I use <xsl:text> I get an error saying that SYLK file is in the 
wrong format.

When I use the html tables I have to trick IE into thinking it is 
opening an Excel file, by using  my.xml?file=file.xls.  This works 
only once, as when I change the xml file the output is still the 
same.
Another thing wrong with the html tables is that is puts all the 
values into one cell??

Can anyone help??
