ah... i see, u could use the following using system-property, which should get u the XSLT processor also ( using <xsl:stylesheet version="1.1" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="system-property('xsl:version') >= 1.1"> <xsl:exciting-new-1.1-feature/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <html> <head> <title>XSLT 1.1 required</title> </head> <body> <p>Sorry, this stylesheet requires XSLT 1.1.</p> </body> </html> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> check out here http://www.vbxml.com/xsl/funcsystem-property.asp otherwise, we live in a world where there are only 2 browsers handling this, u may find having an overarching solution of client detection, then just XSLT processor detection will be more desirable instead of having 2 seperate systems. btw if u are worried about keeping the logic in xml/xlst u could modify > > <script language="JavaScript"> > > <![CDATA[ > > function redirect(){ > > if(is_mac==true ){document.location.href='main_ie.xml';} > > else if(is_ie4up==true){document.location.href='main_ie.xml';} > > else if(is_ie4==true){document.location.href='main_ie.xml';} > > else if(is_aol5==true){document.location.href='main_ie.xml';} > > else if(is_nav6up==true){document.location.href='main_nn.xml';} > > else if(is_gecko==true){document.location.href='main_nn.xml';} > > else if(is_nav4==true){document.location.href='main_nn.xml';} > > } > > ]]> > > </script> to always go to the same URL ( lets say main.xml ) yet inject a parameter, then use xsl:param to make the decision...but then u would probably have to have browser specific code to handle the transform gl, jim fuller btw any one else experience IE not respecting Content-Type so rudely ? > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Wesley W. > Terpstra > Sent: 18 August 2002 13:38 > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [xsl] XSL support detection > > > On Sun, Aug 18, 2002 at 12:20:59PM +0100, James Fuller wrote: > > > My application supports server-side xslt or client-side. > > > The browser can access .html or .xml. > > > > > > However, I would like the front-page to somehow check for xslt > > > and redirect > > > the browser to the right location. > > > > you will need to find an external solution to this problem, in > other words > > use one of the many fine javascript browser sniffers that are out > > there.....this is really not the forum for javascript > questions...ah heck > > its a sunday. > > Indeed; I know I could do this, but it is a last resort.
