RE: Namespaces and IE5.5 (not IE 5.0)

[dcallis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Danny Callis)]

Are you sure IE 5.5 comes with MSXML3.dll?  I thought it shipped with the
older version (just MSXML.dll) that is not very compliant...in which case
you need to download MSXML3 to use the code you're using...

Just a thought...

Subject: Namespaces and IE5.5 (not IE 5.0)


I have learned a great deal from the FAQ about namespaces but can't find any
IE5.5 -specific info on which namespaces "mean" something to IE5.5. (Not
IE5.0)  I have the following three lines in my .XSL

<!-- some XSL -->
<xsl:for-each select="//XML_Trans_Temp[Account='100' or Account='108']">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="." />
</xsl:for-each>
<!-- some XSL -->

If I start off with this namespace, I'm okay with this and get the output I
want, no problem
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";>

If I start off with this, I get no output.
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xslt="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">

I assume that it's because IE5.5 doesn't associate
"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; with a namespace.

Question:  How do I know specifically which namespace identifiers IE5.5
"knows."  I would like to try using some of the new-to-IE5.5 functionality
such as preceding-sibling, etc. but IE5.5 doesn't appear to recognize them.
(Perhaps I am using preceding-sibling wrong, don't know.)  A further
question would be which namespaces cover which XSL functionality, if one
doesn't cover them all.

I have also scoured MSDN, etc. and can't find anything along these lines.
TIA.
