Thanks Jirka. Does Microsoft have any announced plans to come out with an EXSLT-compliant XSLT processor? Brian

  AFAIK no. But there are other intiatives that integrate EXSLT into MSXML. For example http://sourceforge.net/projects/fxsl. Unfortunately such solutions make EXSLT available only to standalone applications that are using XSLT, not to XSLT stylesheets run inside IE.

    You wrote in the article that you "decided to implement (my:closingParenPos) as an EXSLT function because a regularly named template would be too verbose". I am not perfectly XML-literate, but this would seem to imply that one can still accomplish the objective of your article without using EXSLT. As I am most interested in using XSLT and SVG to dynamically draw tree diagrams, can you tell us what changes to make in order to run the example straight-up in IE6?

      Sorry for a long delay, but I didn't received notification e-mail about new post under my article.

      
      I prepared demo for IE6 (MSXML) + Adobe SVG Viewer. Just download

      and open page.xml in IE. Included XSLT stylesheet uses named templates instead of EXSLT extension function.

        >>Error during XSLT transformation: An unknown XPath extension function was called.

        
        Still not working....

        
        Have you been able to get this to work for anyone, Im going to give it a try with server-side transforms but would be nice to do client-side....

          PHP didnt transform it either...php5 using xsltprocessor...just as I normally do.

            Example posted in discussion is customized for use with MSXML 3.0 (part of IE) as someone requested.

            
            PHP5 uses xsltproc, original code posted in article should work with xsltproc.

          And what XSLT processor you are using? MSXML 3.0 or other?

            It should be using MSXML 4.0 SP2 Parser and SDK, as this is the only one installed.

              Well, on my machine it works both in MSXML 3.0 and 4.0, I tested it using msxsl utility from MS.

              
              What happens if you open page.xml in Internet Explorer?

                Sorry for being a pain in the butt, I thought I opened it in IE but in fact was opening it in Firefox, it does work well in IE.

                
                Again sorry for the confusion and my idiocy!
