You cannot save changes to an XSLT Data View Web Part in FrontPage 2003

SYMPTOMS

Any changes that you have made to your Extensible Style sheet Language (XSLT) Data View Web Part in Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 are not saved when the page is saved. You are not prompted to save the external XSL file that is used to render your XSLT Data View Web Part.

CAUSE

The problem occurs when your XSL file uses <xsl:transform> instead of <xsl:stylesheet> as the root tag.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, follow these steps:
  1. Open the XSL file in FrontPage 2003.
  2. Find the following text in the file:
    <xsl:transform [version="1.0"] [xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"] [xmlns:msxsl="urn:schema_location:xslt"] [xmlns:user=http://my_domain_name/my_namespace]>
  3. Change the text xsl:transform to xsl:stylesheet.
  4. Find the text </xsl:transform>, and then change this text to </xsl:stylesheet>.
  5. Save the XSL file.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
