Debugging and validation of MSXSL

[Kermitt]

I've downloaded the Oxygen 7 trial and I must say I'm very impressed with the product overall, but unfortuntely I have to build all my xsl to work in IE6 since that's considered our "standard" browser so I have to aim to get everything working using MSXSL. The only thing holding us back from purchasing Oxygen is that it doesn't properly support debugging and validation of MSXSL. I've seen the thread at http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/ftopic1321.htm which suggests that at least validation may be added at some point, but it's a bit vague as to whether it will definately happen, and doesn't say anything about the debugging side.

Can we get any confirmation of whether debugging and validation will be extended to MSXSL, and if so, how how far away it might be?

Hello,

Regarding Microsoft engines, validation of XML documents against XML Schema and DTD schemas with MSXML and validation of XML Schema files with MSXML are supported starting with version 7.0. Validation of XSLT stylesheets with MSXSL will be added in the short term (several months). Debugging of XSLT transformations performed with the MSXSL engine is not on the list of features to be added in the short term.

I hope this helps,
Sorin

Thanx for the quick reponse. I'll have to do a little more investigation and see if one of the other two engines can be used for debugging without causing too much confusion.
