Re: can't use xsl:variable or xsl:sort

[RSuiter@xxxxxxxxx]

Lewis,

This keeps coming up, and others share in the confusion, so...

IE5.5 runs the same XML and (sort-of) XSL as IE5.0, which is the totally
out of date and incomplete implementation of XSL that goes back a year or
two.
There is no connection between IE5.5 and Microsoft's updates to its XSL
processor, commonly known as MSXML3
The giveaway is the xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"; which is to the
working draft.
This implementation does not support xsl:variable or xsl:sort, or a whole
lot of other things.

If you must use Microsoft's released XSL, then you're stuck.
However, Microsoft offers an updated version, the latest of which is brand
new and claims to fully support the W3C recommendation.
You can download and install that, and then use all the features of XSLT.

See the FAQ, or the XSL-list reminder that came this morning, for urls and
other good stuff.

Regards,

Rick Suiter
