Subject: RE: IE5.0 and XSL From: Jonathan Marsh <jmarsh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 09:04:07 -0800 |
IE5 does not implement all of the features of the W3C WD. We have tried to choose a subset which offered the core functionality, and implement that subset compatibly. One feature we did not have time to implement is the built-in templates, so you must add these to your stylesheet if you want to rely on them. The resulting stylesheet is still a conformant stylesheet and should work in other XSL processors as well. The "order-by" attribute is documented on our web site as an obsolete syntax - we didn't have time to implement the preferred <xsl:sort> syntax for this release. We also believe that gt, lt, etc. should be included in XSL Patterns, and expect them to be part of an upcoming draft. > -----Original Message----- > From: Olivier Brand [mailto:olivier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Friday, March 26, 1999 11:10 AM > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: IE5.0 and XSL > > > Thanks Jonathan, > > I have noticed that the template "/" should exist.
