xml declaration not written

[Ivan Longhi]

hello,

I have a xml file:
---------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="in.xsl"?>
<eventi>
<evento><id>29153</id><titolo>Invito a corte</titolo></evento>
</eventi>
---------------

the in.xsl contains:
-----------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output version="1.0" method="xml" encoding="iso-8859-1" indent="yes"
standalone="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<milanomese>
<test>test</test>
<test>test</test>
<xsl:copy-of select="eventi/evento"/>
</milanomese>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
-----------------

very simple, no?
if I open the file with a browser the xml file is trasformed ok, but the
browser doesn't include the xml declaration (<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>) in the output.
I can't understand why!
as you can see I used the <xsl:output .... I think correctly.....

any idea?

How do you know? At least in Mozilla's DOM the XML declaration does not
show up as a node.

for two reasons:
- first of all the document isn't rendered by mozilla as a xml document,
that is I see only the content of the nodes, as if it is a html document
with unknown tags...
- second if I "save page as..." I see the "correctly" transformed xml file
but without the xml declaration

bye,
Ivan

What is it that you expect to see? Since you are just using generic XML
without any stylesheets, you will only see:

testtest29153Invito a corte

Is that not what you are seeing?

Yeah, this sounds like a bug, but that will not affect rendering at all.
Would be great if you could file a bug on the XSLT component though so
that we can get it fixed.

I have filed bug <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344362>
on that issue.
