XML and XSL file have to be in the same directory?

[Ag-Chieve]

Hi, Just a quick question. In all the tutorials I've seen about xml/xslt, the xsl file is always saved in the same directory as the xml file. My question is; can I have an xml file that links to an xsl file that is saved somewhere else and have it linked via a url? What I'm specifically trying to do is have an xml file and an xsl file saved in a Dropbox folder and link the xml file to the xsl file with a url. It would look like this; xslt file would be the usual; <?xml version= "1.0"?><xsl:stylesheet version= "1.0"xmlns:xsl= "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> And xml file; <?xml version= "1.0"?><?xsl-stylesheet type= "text/xsl" href= "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/name_of_file.xsl"?> I have tried this and it doesn't seem to work but I wasn't sure if that had something to do with it being in a Dropbox folder or if both documents absolutely have to be in saved in the same folder in the same directory. Thanks.

They don't have to be in the same folder, but they must be in the same domain.This isn't an XSLT restriction - it's a browser restriction, designed to mitigate XSS attacks.
