Re: [xsl] Conditional branching on string attribute in IE5?

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

you seem to use the old MS-implementation of an XSLT working draft. This 
one is no longer supported by MS and should not be used any longer. You 
will probably get no help here too. (http://www.netcrucible.com/)

If upgrading to MSXML 3 (upgrade to IE 6 is not necessary) is nooption 
for you, you must think about server side processing.

MSXML 3: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sample.asp?url=/MSDN-FILES/027/001/772/msdncompositedoc.xml&frame=true

MSXML 4: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?url=/downloads/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/027/001/766/msdncompositedoc.xml

Regards,

Joerg
