Hi.

The simple answer is no.

The not so simple answer is that you could deliver to any browser if you
are doing the XSL transformation on IIS using the IE5 parser (or indeed
another choice of parser).

The other option that might work would be if the IE5 parser was registered
locally on the client you might be able to create an instance of it in
JScript, but I have no idea practically if this can be done.

Basically with IE4 the IE5 parser pretty much fits in with any other parser
out there, it's only with IE5 that you get the chance to browse XML style
with XSL natively.

Cheers
     Guy.

What about IE4? Does the new standard works for IE4?
