RE: [xsl] Incorrect output with IE6

["Richard Lander" <rlander@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh, I get it now.

The issue is that IE6 and Saxon are not really the same type of software. IE6 is a browser, whereas Saxon is an XSLT processor. IE6 relies on MSXML4, which *is* an XSLT processor. I realize that you may well know this, but I'm sure others are a little fuzzy on this point.

That's a long way of saying that you cannot expect parity of output between Saxon and IE6; however, you can expect such parity with MSXML4 or System.Xml.

IE6 is expecting HTML. When it doesn't get HTML, it just displays the text nodes, as you've found. I'm not entirely sure how IE6 responds to SVG embedded within HTML (assuming that you had some sort of SVG add-in), but I'm certain that it doesn't do anything with standalone SVG documents.

So, you can either use Saxon or MSXML4 to produce SVG or change your transform to output HTML, which will then be nicely viewable in IE6 (or IE5 for that matter).

Hope that helps,

Rich
