Sorry for that. One additional point I would make about IE6. If you use xsl:output with an method="xml" attribute, then also add an omit-xml-declaration="yes" attribute. IE6 has a known bug where it has problems with an XML declaration for an XHTML document. According to the XML specification the XML declaration *can be* omitted for an XML document. I believe this issue was fixed in IE7. > For all browsers: when you use a user defined output method, > you receive an error. When you do not specify an output > method, it is XML (as it should).

Not quite sure this statement is true based on my experience with IE6 and IE7. I have never received an error when specifying an xsl:output statement with IE6 or IE7, however IE6 and IE7 do expect the output of the transform to be UTF-16, otherwise you may have issues with diacritics. Something I recently helped a colleague work through while he was developing a cross browser XSLT. I agree with Abel, you should only be using UTF-8 or UTF-16 for output documents. Not sure why people still insist on using ISO-8859* or Windows-* character sets when UTF-8 and UTF-16 are required support for all XML parsers and they are widely supported by many other tools. Andy.
