Why does the xsl generated from stylus not work with microsoft Explorer 5.0.

I thought I was using a standard but seem to have some strange output on ie5.

It all looks ok in stylus.

Lastly, Can I do string manipulations to say
get the date part of a strin such as
20001201T00:00:00 I only want
20001201

Thanks

Hi,

MS IE5 implements a version of xsl that is more than a year old. Therefore a lot of the xsl instructions that Stylus lets you create do not work in IE5. To address that issue, we have added the IE5 processor option (see Tools/Options) that will allow you to preview the result of the stylesheet transformation using the IE5 processor. See Microsoft's IE5 reference on the web for more info.

As for your second question, you can use the xpath function substring-before() to get what you want. For example:

(xsl:value-of select="substring-before('20001201T00:00:00', 'T')"/)

evaluates to 20001201

Do you have a list of the XSL stuff that Microsoft do not support and possible ways round. I know this is a pain but unless I can display this stuff I am pretty well stuffed.

Thanks for the second answer.

Lastly, Can we have some help in Stylus that guides through the vagaries of XSL? Can you recommend a good book?

Thanks

Hi,

As for MS XSL, take a look at http://www.msdn.microsoft.com and follow links to xml references. MS says they will release a preview of the new version that supports the latest xpath/xsl by end of this month.

As for a book, there are some good online resources. Check out www.xslt.com and http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/ for links. The xsl/xpath chapters of the xsl bible are online at http://metalab.unc.edu/xml/books/bible/ and are a good start.

Hi,

Just downloaded MSXML3, the new parser from Microsoft. It has much of the XSLT recommendation in it. I switched to IE mode in Stylus and the intellisense picked up the new commands. I inserted an XSL:OUTPUT command, changed the XMLNS to xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" and then switched to 3 pane view. At that point I believe Stylus changed the XMLNS back to the working draft URI. The IE preview then told me XSL:OUTPUT wasn't supported in this version. I'm going to check this through ASP, but don't know when I'll get round to this.

all help appreciated
regards Lee

To see what text Stylus is feeding to Internet Explorer, click the "External Browser Preview" toolbar button, and then View | Source inside Internet Explorer. Hope this helps.
