Hello,

I have the following code:

xml.instruct! :xml, :version=\>“1.0”  
xml.instruct! ‘xml-stylesheet’, :href=\>’/stylesheets/java\_app.xsl’  
xml.blueman do  
xml.response do  
xml.code(@response.code)  
@response.url ||= “”  
xml.url(@response.url)  
@response.message ||= “”  
xml.message(@response.message)  
end  
end

But when this prints out its not including my xsl in the page.  
Actually I’m displaying this in an iframe. I hope that doesn’t matter.

Any ideas why this isn’t working. I thought the xml builder would have  
an easy link tag like javascript\_include\_tag etc etc, but can’t find  
one

Figured this one out in the end. I was missing one little bit. My  
java\_app.xsl is in a sub dir and I forgot to add text/xsl. These small  
things…

xml.instruct! ‘xml-stylesheet’, {:href=\>"/stylesheets/client/  
java\_app.xsl", :type =\> “text/xsl”}
