Cocoon and 

Dear List,

I have the following code in stylesheets/panelset2html.xsl:

<xsl:output method="html" version="4.01"
            doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
            doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd"/>

and the following in sitemap.xmap:

<map:match pattern="">
      <map:generate src="views/index.xml" type="jx">
            <map:parameter name="lenient-xpath" value="true"/>
      </map:generate>
      <map:transform src="stylesheets/panelset2html.xsl"/>
      <map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:match>

Based on this, I would expect the resulting HTML to containing the
following DOCTYPE:

      <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">

Instead, I am getting:

      <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Which MSIE doesn't seem to like in conjunction with the <frameset> element.

As far as I can tell, Cocoon is ignoring the <xsl:output>, and using
whatever is specified within the HTML Serializer configuration.

Is there a setting I can change to get Cocoon to respect the <xsl:output>,
or should I just configure a seperate instance of HTMLSerializer with the
appropriate doctype-public  and doctype-system values and use that instead
of the default serializer for frameset documents?


Thanks,
Ian

That's right. To understand why, you have to consider the two parts of 
an XSL engine:
- the transformation part, defined by the xsl templates
- the serialization part, whose behavior is driven by <xsl:output>

The XSL transformer in Cocoon uses... the transformation part! As a 
consequence, the <xsl:output> instruction is ignored.

The HTML serializer uses the serialization part of the same XSL engine, 
using an identity transformation that converts SAX events to a byte 
stream. This is where the doctype settings are taken into account.

You therefore have to define a different "frameset-html" serializer to 
have the appropriate doctype.
