Re: MSXSL and MSIE5beta2

Hi Paul.

All the MS technology is very much beta at the moment (MSXSL was technicaly
a preview, not even a beta), so if you push ahead with it now, you must be
prepared to have adjustments to make in the future. MS clearly warns that
the state of play is likely to change.

To answer your question, there is a more up-to-date implimentation of XSL
with IE5b2, and it will run on the server-side. It is however markedly
different from the preview MSXSL.

Your best bet is to look at the documentation on the MS site...
http://www.microsoft.com/xml/

Good luck
     Guy.

Hi,
     I have been generating a portion of my HTML website using XML and
MSXSL (based on the earlier XSL proposal) for a few weeks now, and it has
saved me a lot of work.  When I got a copy of MSIE5 beta 2 at XML '98, I
was all excited to update my XSL stylesheet and make my XML documents
available on my site.  I figured I would still be able to convert my XML to
HTML using my old stylesheet using MSXSL.  However, when I installed
MSIE5b2, it apparently broke MSXSL, leaving me without a way to convert to
HTML on the server-side.
     Could someone tell me if there is a replacement for MSXSL that works
with the latest Working Draft?  Or it would be nice if MSIE5b2 had a "Save
As HTML" feature.  For the time being, I am copying my XML files to another
computer running MSIE4, converting them to HTML, and copying the HTML back.
Paul
