Thank you very much Charles for the references.
Still, I want to know if there are tools/books for the specific libraries of
IE6.
I know that some libraries sometimes gives a different interface and properties
than others, or extra features in addition to the standard.
Are there any changes or extras for MSXML, JavaScript, or any other library
given by IE6?
If so, is there any good documentation and tool for IE6 libraries?
Thanks again,
-- Amir

First you need a good programmer's editor. I suggest the shareware product
UltraEdit (www.ultraedit.com). It has the usual things programmer's editors
have (color-coded syntax highlighting, auto-complete, a variety of project
management tools, macros, templates, etc.). One thing I particularly like is
the button on the toolbar that lets you view the file you are editing in your
default browser. I use that for debugging JavaScript and checking the
appearance of my HTML.
A good book on JavaScript is indispensable. I suggest the "JavaScript Bible",
ISBN 0764533428. For really good JavaScript implementations, you will want to
use an object-oriented programming approach. The late, lamented imprint, WROX
had an OO JavaScript book
entitled JavaScript Objects, ISBN 1861001894. You can find it second-hand on
the web
You can also use UltraEdit to debug XSLT transformations, but for really tricky
problems, you may want to get a copy of XSLerator from Marrowsoft
(www.marrowsoft.com).
Depending on how much XSLT you already know, there are a number of books I
could recommend. The XSLT Programmer's Reference, 2nd Edition, by Michael Kay
is a good reference book. I found that I couldn't understand the tutorial parts
until I had first got some experience. I have bought and thrown away more XML
books than I care to remember, but the quality seems to be getting better.
Jenni Tenison's books are good. Inside XSLT from New Riders by Steven Holzner
is good (ISBN 0735711364).

Subject: [xsl] Looking for Tools & Books
Hello,
I intend to write a web application for IE6.
The application is based on XML/XSLT (XSLT runs on client side - IE6) and the
transformation output is XHTML/JavaScript pages.
Could somebody recommend me on tools and books appropriate for this specific
configuration?
And specifically, I'm looking for a good tool for developing/debugging of
(X)HTML/JavaScript, and also XSLT if possible.
Thanks in advance,
-- Amir
