RE: [xsl] XSLT Processor Detection

Well, the processor-version.xsl on mulberrytech.com seems to work correctly. I think this is because if you have the old version, only the WD-xsl code is processed, while if you have the new version, only the XSLT code is processed.

Anyway, I finally was able to accurately detect the XSLT version using this code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="xslProcessorCheck.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>

<html xsl:version="1.0"
     xmlns:msxsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";
     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict";>
 <head>
   <title>XSLT Processor Version</title>
 </head>
 <body>
 	<script>
		var version = "old";
	</script>
   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="false()">
       <msxsl:if test=".">
         <script>version = "old";</script>
       </msxsl:if>
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
       <msxsl:choose>
         <msxsl:when test=".">
         </msxsl:when>
         <msxsl:otherwise>
           <script>version = "new";</script>
         </msxsl:otherwise>
       </msxsl:choose>
     </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>

<script> var expDate = new Date("June 13, 2023"); var versionCookie = "upcast_xslprocessor=" + version + ";path=/;expires=" + expDate.toGMTString(); document.cookie = versionCookie; history.back(); </script> </body> </html>

Thanks.

Mixing WD-xsl and XSLT in the same stylesheet is like mixing COBOL and
FORTRAN in the same program. It doesn't work.
