Summary: XSLT include level limit

Description Phil Carbone 2007-01-10 10:45:50 PST
I have an XSLT file that an xml file is referring to. 

The XML file calls the XSLT with this line:
<?xml-stylesheet href="page.xslt" type="text/xsl"?>

The "page.xslt" then includes another xslt file called "widgets.xslt"

"widgets.xslt" has about 10 other xslt files included within it. From what I have found, it seems that Safari will not include any other files after the third level (within the widgets.xslt file) 
If I put the includes that I have within the "widgets.xslt" file directly into "page.xslt" everything works. If I don't than the page is blank.

Also, I though maybe something was wrong with the "widgets.xslt" file, so I tried to just put plain XSLT (no includes) in it to see if it still transforms. When I do this the page works. 

So my conclusion is that Safari only supports 3 levels of included xslt files. Is this true? is there something I can do to fix this. Does anyone have an answer?

P.S. This works in Firefox 2.0/OS X, Firefox 2.0/Windows, IE6 and IE7 (I am using Safari 2.0)

Please try this with a WebKit Nightly build:  http://nightly.webkit.org/

There is nothing to install--just download the DMG, mount it, and double-click on the WebKit icon.

WOW!

Everything works perfect in WebKit from the nightly build (Thu Jan 11 13:45:30 GMT 2007)

So, what version of Safari would this be considered? Is this known? I will be looking forward to the release.

Apple has not (and will not) pre-announce anything, but the last time they shipped Tiger (10.4), they provided an updated Safari for Panther (10.3.9) with a version of WebKit that was nearly identical to the version shipped with Safari in Tiger.

I personally think they'll do the same thing with Tiger when Leopard is released, but again, that's pure speculation on my part.

Closing as RESOLVED/FIXED since this works in WebKit ToT (tip of tree).  See Comment #3 for when this may be fixed in shipping Safari.
