    XML excel formatting in Fx

    I've looked around google, and I am not sure if it is my horrible search abilities, or if the issue is scarce, but I am having a problem with an XML file I am formatting as an excel file.

    If you open the link in IE, you get a prompt for a download, and the file opens all pretty and everything. But, when I open it in Fx, the XML just simply shows up.


    Does anyone know a way to make Fx react as IE would and render the XML properly?

    How are you 'formatting'? Are you using XSL? If so, are you using the xml-stylesheet directive correctly?

    I am using XSL to format it as an excel file. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by using the xml-stylesheet directive correctly.


    Here is the file...Maybe at a quick glance you could tell me how much of a fool I am? I am pretty new to XML.

    The mso-application directive on the second line is a MS proprietary thing. It's not standard XML and as such the file will only work in MSIE.
