Subject: RE: [xsl] xsl:script From: Shimon Pozin <spozin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2001 20:31:13 -0500 |
Thanks, Wendell! Is there a list of available namespaces and differences between them? If I specify "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform", but version="1.1" will MS parser automatically switch to the version 1.1 or 1.1 is not supported by MS at all? And what's about xsl:script? Is there an implementation that supports both tags: xsl:script and xsl:output?
