Bing Map With XSL .net 1.1

Thursday, March 01, 2012 6:07 AM

Hi,

I am using Bing Map APi with XSL in .Net 1.1 framework. Map gets render fine on IE 6,7,8 but it does not work on IE9 and any other browser. I tried following steps to identify the issue

If I copy the view source of my page and store it in html format in directory where aspx files are it map get rendered in every browser.
Kept the xsl code very simple but still it does not work with mt actual solution. But creating a sample application on framework 2.0 and above it works. It says BING need .net framework 2.0 and above but how come its works on IE 8 with 1.1?
With 1.1 the code get into infinite loop of LoadMap function of Bing api with other browsers.
I tried the same code of 1.1 on different environment it works , thus it means an environment issue?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output method="html"/>
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
      <head>
        <title>Footballer's XSLT Demo</title>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ecn.dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6.3"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
          var myMap = null;
          function LoadMap()
          {
          myMap = new VEMap("mapDiv");
          myMap.LoadMap();
          }
          function UnloadMap()
          {
          if (myMap != null) {
          myMap.Dispose();
          }
          }
        </script>
      </head>
      <body onload="LoadMap()" onunload="UnloadMap()">
        <h2>Footballer's Information</h2>
        <br/>
        <br />
        <table bgcolor="#008BE7" border="1" cellpadding="5">
    
       
          <tr>
            <td style="position:relative;width:640px;height:480px;" id="mapDiv"/>
          </tr>
        </table>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>
 
</xsl:stylesheet>

Please help me in resolving the issue, i am trying very hard fix it.

Thanks

Might just be me but I really confused what you are trying to do here? The API you are using (which by the way is the old version its now v7) is a javascript API that doesnt care about server side technologies at all?

Secondly what are you trying to achieve in running XSLT directly in a browser? Seems odd as XSLT is for transforming XML?

Also note that the code sample is missing the proper doctype and metatag as documented here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg427624.aspx

As for your issue it's possible that the file has the wrong content-type defined in the header of the file when being downloaded to the browser. The content type should be text/xml, if it is text/html then it will not work correctly in all browsers.
