Re: [xsl] msxml2: What can be used instead of <xsl:variable>

["cutlass" <cutlass@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hello

we all understand your situation, but we would be doing you a disservice if
we suggest anything else.

your options

a) continue using ancient version

b) provide a method of upgrading clients


ancient means, broken, not to spec, etc.....we dont speak that here, its not
even a dialect, its something completely different.... there is a code
convertor listed at www.netcrucible.com that will convert xsl to xslt.

there is a simple msxml sniffer at www.bayes.co.uk/xml and online installer,
that could assist in upgrading your clients.

you would be doing a disservice to your clients if u do not recc. a base
client requirement that uses proper software.

good luck, jim fuller
