Wouldn't that just be for transformation on your local PC using Oxygen? Once you have the file online with a callout to an XSL style sheet, doesn't the browser do all the work?

This is a new experience to all of us and we have run into a problem. We set up a directory on our web server with all the proper files (EAD DTD, the EAD file, an XSL stylesheet, and a CSS file) all linked together as they should be. It all appears to work fine, until you try to visit the URL. The IT department identified a problem with one line of code in the EAD XML file. It references an XSL stylesheet we do not have. This stylesheet reference was left in the EAD template that came with Oxygen Editor and was presumable used by the archivist who created/donated the EAD template to Oxygen (see the middle line, please): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="http://nwda- db.wsulibs.wsu.edu/xsl/project.xsl"?> <!DOCTYPE ead PUBLIC "+//ISBN 1-931666-00-8//DTD ead.dtd (Encoded Archival Description (EAD) Version 2002)//EN" "ead.dtd"> We removed this reference and got a white page of the finding aid text with no formatting at all. I then replaced it with the references to the correct XSL and CSS stylesheet, like so: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE ead PUBLIC "+//ISBN 1-931666-00-8//DTD ead.dtd (Encoded Archival Description (EAD) Version 2002)//EN" "ead.dtd"> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="ead_divs.xsl"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="ead_divs.css"?> But this does not fix the problem. Loading the URL just gets an error message: The page cannot be found The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. ________________________________________ Please try the following: * Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of your browser is spelled and formatted correctly. * If you reached this page by clicking a link, contact the Web site administrator to alert them that the link is incorrectly formatted. * Click the Back button to try another link.

Is there anyone out there who can shed some light on what I am doing wrong? According to Oxygen, my EAD file is valid, well-formed, and the transformation scenario loads properly when I test it on my computer. Am I missing some all important line of code? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
