Topic: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> creating problems with mozilla firefox (Page 1 of 1)

Hi frnds,

i have simple XML doc

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?>
<data>
<name> Divyesh Jariala</name>
</data>

and test.xsl

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/data">
<xsl:text> My name is : <xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="data/name" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


this works fine with IE...but when i trying to run it with mozilla firefox ...it gives me an error

XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Line Number 3, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
^

what might be the problem?

Thanx in advance

Hello frnd,

Can't know for sure but the error message seem rather explicit:

quote:

---

XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Line Number 3, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

---

Try removing the empty lines before the <?xml ... ?> declaration. Also make sure the file are served as UTF-8

Hi,
Its already like this : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

there is no spaces between ? and xml...

Thanx in advance

It would appear that there is space at the top of the file between the start of the file and the <?xml
