Thread: XSLT Includes & Debugging

I've run into this several times in the past:

Code:

<xsl:import href="reusable.xslt" />

When creating XSLT files and importing, debug="true" gets various errors, like:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'E:\sites\mysite\Web\images\reusable.xslt'.

I still need to see the XML that's being transformed, so I know that my queries are working and to reference node names for XPATH.

So instead of grumbling about having to go check the images folder for the debug files - here's a much quicker solution:

Your very own debug window:

Code:

<textarea cols="80" rows="50">
      <xsl:copy-of select="/" />
</textarea>

Really nice - Thanks Lindsay.
