Re: Does anyone know how to make IE less useless for XSLT developement?

Honestly, I don't know how
people put up with developing apps exclusively under IE. It's like
having both arms and legs chopped off once you've developed with FF

There are good examples of web sites that generate their pages using
client-side XSLT transformation inside IE. Just the first two that
prominently come into my mind:

 http://www.xsltblog.com/

 http://jenitennison.com/index.xml

By asking these people (and isn't this exactly the purpose of any
forum?) how they did it one will definitely get the best information
from the experts.

So, the general answer is (and that's really good!) that one still has
to learn a lot.

Unfortunately there are still some traditionalists out there who
insist on using IE. So far, my web application is only working in
Firefox. I load it up in IE, and I just get a lame error with no line

IE says "This name may not contain the '@' character: -->@<--name
Error occurred during compilation of included or imported sty..."
My server-side transform processor doesn't compain about any errors
either so I'm assuming it's not just FF being lenient. I don't want to
transform server-side unless I absolutely have to.

Surely there must be some sort of extension that you can get for IE
that allows you to debug with it.
