if msxml3 is used for an xslt, does this mean that if other browsers try to view it, they will only be able to do so if they have msxml3 installed? If yes, what are alternative's? tia, dk -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Neil Smith Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 6:16 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [xsl] Binary characters in XML You will need to encode the binary data as Base-64 data, and un-encode it for use. Base 64 is guaranteed to produce only text characters. XML does not support inline binary data, as it can contain illegal (for XML) characters which break the parser. The parser is *required* not to parse the document if it contains such charcters, and there is no way you can do it the way you are trying.
