How do fields appear in the HTML output?
All HTML output is produced from an XSL transformation which uses the instructions contained within an XSL stylesheet and the data contained within an XML document. This has two points of great significance: • If the XSL stylesheet tries to place a named piece of data in its output document, but cannot find a piece of data with that name in the XML document, it will not output anything for that data item. • If the XML document contains a piece of data without the XSL stylesheet containing instructions on what to do with that data, then that data will not appear in the output. If you are testing a new HTML screen and it does not contain the expected fields then the very first place to look is the XML document. Although these are constructed in memory and usually discarded immediately after use, there is a way to have them written out to disk so that their contents can be examined later. Please refer to FAQ 51 for details.
