Indeed; I know I could do this, but it is a last resort. I don't want to have to keep track of 20 browsers and the current state of their xslt support.

No, this is not apache's fault; I changed the types with AddType, and checked the output headers directly by connecting. It really is IE6's fault; it does not respect the Content-Type the server reports. > <script language="JavaScript"> > <![CDATA[ > function redirect(){ > if(is_mac==true ){document.location.href='main_ie.xml';} > else if(is_ie4up==true){document.location.href='main_ie.xml';} > else if(is_ie4==true){document.location.href='main_ie.xml';} > else if(is_aol5==true){document.location.href='main_ie.xml';} > else if(is_nav6up==true){document.location.href='main_nn.xml';} > else if(is_gecko==true){document.location.href='main_nn.xml';} > else if(is_nav4==true){document.location.href='main_nn.xml';} > } > ]]> > </script> > > [snip huge attached javascript routine] Thanks for the code; I will definitely use it if there is no other solution! However, this is exactly what I want to avoid. It is too complex and requires that I personally keep track of things. I would rather check for xslt by doing something that would use xslt if it were present---either by trying to use a stylesheet as above, or just asking javascript directly. Like a if (browser.xslt.version >= 1) or something. -- Wesley W. Terpstra <wesley@xxxxxxxxxxx> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
