RE: [xsl] anyone know why the default xsl in IE sometimes manages to

In my recollection IE has always done this from the earliest days of MSXML.
Unless the browser crashed of course ;)

I think you can also see this same effect when transforming asynchronously
with asp.

I was wondering if there was some api in MSXML to do this, perhaps a
hidden one that anyone was familiar with.


MSXML's IXSLProcessor object supports asynchronous transformations:
<http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms762799.aspx>
so presumably IE is using a compiled version of the stylesheet and  
processing it this way.

I'm not sure which version this was introduced in, but the examples  
on that page use MSXML 3. Perhaps somebody with a suitably old and  
unpatched version of Windows could determine whether the behaviour  
you describe was exhibited by older IE versions using the earlier  
versions of MSXML.

Regards,

Nick.
