First, there's a MSXML XSL FAQ at
http://www.netcrucible.com/xslt/msxml-faq.htm
It says that IE 5 and up has XSL in it. XML will not work under XSL without
modification. I've tried. (And to be honest, I do not know if you can even
install additional EXEs to get it to work.)
IE 5, 5.5 comes with an early pre-recommendation version of XSL, namely
"TR/WD-xsl". Consequently, your XSL will work but not all commands are
available. To use the more interesting (and standardized) features of XSL,
you will either have to update to MSXML 4.0 or go server-side.
I can not comment on IE 6 because it is only in beta stage. But it is
interesting that Microsoft does not make any mention of IE 6 supporting XML
on their web site. They do advertise increased CSS and DHTML support
though... (URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/preview/fault/default.asp )
I hope this helps.

ok so just to get things a bit more clearer...
XML works on IE browsers from 4 upwards right?
then IE 4, 5 and 5.5 all require extra EXEs such as the SP1 and the
xmlinst.exe etc to be installed for the XSL to work properly on them?
then XSL only works properly on IE 6 without installing anyother EXEs?

IE 5.5 is no better than 5.0 with respect to XSLT. You need to install
MSXML3 SP1 (This is available as one program including MSXML and the
service pack) and xmlinst.exe to transform XML properly in IE 5.5.

Dear pplz,
I know that XSL and XML works fine on IE6, but as for IE5.5, do you
really
need to install the MSXMLWR.EXE and the xmlinst.exe (think this is the
parser) for the XSL to transform the XML properly? (I downloaded the
exes a
while ago to work on IE5.5, and can't exactly remember their actual
names)
There was at a stage where after installing those 2 exes above, the
browser
still didn't work, and showed a PCDATA problem comment. So one of my
colleagues found this xml3 sp1 which then made the browser work with XSL
and
XML. (by work I mean allowed the XML to be transformed and show
meaningful
info)
so my question is: Is there anything I can add into the XSL/XML so that
there is no need to install the MSXMLWR, xmlinst and the sp1? Or do I
have
to install all three and this is the only option?
