Re: xsl:sort in old MSXML

Well, I guess it's possible if there is a really simple solution to 
transparently update the clients without the users nowing it (or perhaps one 
"Yes" click or something like that) _and_ it must work even if the clients 
don't have admin permissions over the computer. But I have never done uploading 
of new ActiveX components or such stuff so I don't really know...

I guess I'll have to resort to javascript and dom sort function otherwise. But 
I don't like it...

Subject: Re: [xsl] xsl:sort in old MSXML



Exact error message is: Keyword xsl:sort may not be used here.

xsl:sort is an XSLt expression, but msxml2 implements a language that is
almost entirely different (which it unhelpfully called XSL as it was
rather loosely based on an early draft of XSL).
Most XSL instructions are not available in that language, you usually
have to escape to javascript to do any programming.

The same things happens when I try to use xsl:param and xsl:variable as 
well.
Yes you'll get the same for most XSLT instructions. IE5's "wd-xsl" is an
entirely different language.


(Can you really not update to msxml3 or 4?)
