So, I'm using the XSLT plugin for JQuery, and here's my code:
function AddPlotcardEventHandlers(){
// some code
}
function reportError(exception){
alert(exception.constructor.name + " Exception: " + ((exception.name) ? exception.name : "[unknown name]") + " - " + exception.message);
}
function GetPlotcards(){
$("#content").xslt("../xml/plotcards.xml","../xslt/plotcards.xsl", AddPlotcardEventHandlers,reportError);
}
Here's the modified jquery plugin. I say that its modified because I've added callbacks for success and error handling.

And, here's my error msg:

Here's the info on the browser that I'm using for testing (with firebug v1.5.4 add-on installed):

Here's my XML:

I'm really not sure what to do about this.... any thoughts?
