Subject: [xsl] Re: Does anyone know how to make IE less useless for XSLT developement? From: "Terence Kearns" <terence.kearns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2006 16:12:24 +1100 |
I realise the issue would most probably have somthing to do with mapping content data to a cname - thereby "dynamically" defining schema - which does sound a bit naughty. However, why would 3 other processors do it if it was such a sin?
