You receive WYSIWYG errors when you use XSLT style sheets that contain the XSL:ELEMENT element in FrontPage 2003 (830982)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003
  • Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003
  • Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003, when you develop a Web page by using custom Extensible Style Sheet Language Transformations (XSLT) style sheets, you may experience WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) errors in Design view in FrontPage 2003. When you try to view the page in Design view, nothing appears, but if you preview the Web page in a Web browser, you can successfully view the page.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because of problems that involve implicit paragraph (<p>) tags in the parser when you use code that contains the XSL:ELEMENT element. In certain cases, the XSL:ELEMENT element may cause the XSLT parser to read the content as being mis-nested and is therefore understood not to be valid. This will result in WYSIWYG errors in Design view in FrontPage 2003.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

WYSIWYG is a display method that shows documents and graphical characters on the screen as they appear when they are printed. WYSIWYG tries to duplicate print output as closely as possible.
