David,
Thanks for your answers. Let me wrap up.
2) So users with IE 4.0 or Netscape 4.0 will not be able to
execute the attached code, unless they have installed this
compatibility feature (msxml3)?
3) When you mean "using a standard language", you are talking
to apply straight the standard specifications for XSLT 1.0?
What about the features not available, use javascript or any
other language?
If I don't have access to a server (I did some applications
in a free site hosting), the transformations aren't done in
this case in the client side?
4) Maybe I write it wrong, but I see in this list that some
people use XSLT Saxon implementation, some MS implementation,
and some others. Does this mean for instance that if someone
implemented an application using Saxon features, other like
me, using IE 6.0 will not be able to browse her/his Saxon page?
5) If I start using XSLT 2.0 language definition, will my IE
6.0 browser be able to view this application? What about the rest?
Regards, Claudio.

I have the code that follows.
In my machine I have IE 6.0, and MSXML 4.0.
Then you can use XSLT.
MSXML4 _only_ implements XSLT, not the language that you were using.
MSXML3 (as used in IE6) implements both XSLT and the microsft-specific
wd-xsl language that your stylesheet used.
2) Does for instance a user of IE 6.0 be able to view the
results and one of IE 4.0 not?
Clearly IE4 and IE5, which predate the publication of XSLT do not
implement XSLT, neither does xmosaic version 1 or other old browsers.
IE5 can use XSLT if you install msxml3 in "replace mode".
3) Which is the best approach to develop in a neutral
environment that
be accesible for everyone (or at least 90% of the www users, not an
enterprise environment, where will be easy to install all the set
up required)?
Use a standard language XSLT not a language that is only supported in
old Microsoft products. If you want to support old browsers, do the
conversion on the server, and serve html.
4) Why do we talk of different engines like Saxon, MS, etc.?
Because they are XSLT systems, and this is XSL-list (I don't
understand
the question)
David
