Well, I get the same message when trying to view the FotD page using IE6 6.0.2800.1106 running under WINE on Linux:
The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using style sheet.
Microsoft has always thought it can do what it wants (and when it wants) concerning browsers and standards. They have been playing "catch up" with better browsers since the very beginning, not to mention writing their own ELEMENTS and ATTRIBUTES. (Quantity of users does not mean a better browser.)
The Extensible HTML (XHTML) version 1.0 Transitional DTD has been around since the late 1990's. The last revision was 1.2, and that was back on August 01, 2002. This DTD is the same as HTML 4 Transitional except for changes due to the differences between XML and SGML.
The same goes for the CSS versions and levels. Microsoft is behind as well on implementing the current standards.
Try updating from IE6 to IE7. Or better yet, get the Linux version of Firefox.
I have and use the Linux version of FF. I only have IE6 running under WINE for testing sites in IE6. The original poster's complaint was that in IE6 he was getting the error. I've visited the FotD site many times and never seen any such error - but never using IE6. So I was simply reporting that I also had seen it. FWIW, my employer makes us all use IE6 - and I've never encountered that same error before. So it seemed likely it was a problem unique to the FotD site, not to IE6. ;-) -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community
