Re: [xsl] Experience with XSLT in IE6?

Hi Didlier,

I would be interested to see an example of this bug in the form of a minimal test case. "Bizarre results" doen't really help defining the problem.

Cheers,

Manos

Hi Jacob,

To be more specific, in Moz 1.6 the construct <xsl:choose...> produces
bizarre results. Some other bugs are still residual issues in the current
stable version but I remember this one since not being able to use it in
stylesheets poses serious limits to what you can do.

Cheers
Didier

Hi Manos,

Decision was made before I was involved.  I would guess that one reason to
limit to a single browser was to minimize maintenance and
testing.  Production version has to be rock solid.  IE over Mozilla choice
probably due to existing installed base.  I use Mozilla myself and love it
(though a later post on this topic says its XSLT support is buggy).

Hi Jacob,

In a project I'm involved with, we have XML data which we transform to
HTML using XSLT.  The plan is to do the XSLT transform in the browser
client (IE6.0 - we control the clients and can specify the required

browser).

I dont see why you want to limit folks to IE6. Mozilla based browsers
handle XML+XSLT just fine. Just send your XML with a style Processing
Instruction to the browser. It will work equally well for both browsers.
And if you want to control transformations from the client using
scripting, that can be done as well.

Hope this helps.
