Thanks for the idea, Tom. Even this doesn't work for me (in IE 5.5.) I'm now really curious for why it works for you, but not for me. What OS are you using? I'm on NT 4.0.
In addition to calling the internal script from the onload event, as you did, I also tried setting the property from within the external JS file that creates the page. Here's what I used:
...
var xslDoc = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument");
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument");
xslDoc.async = false;
xslDoc.load(xslFile);
xmlDoc.async = true;
xmlDoc.load(xmlFile);
var tem = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XSLTemplate")
tem.stylesheet = xslDoc;
var proc = tem.createProcessor();
proc.addParameter(paramName, paramVal);
proc.input = xmlDoc;
proc.transform();
var str = proc.output;
alert(str);
top.rightTop.document.write(str);
top.rightTop.document.close();
top.rightTop.document.bgColor = "silver";
...
I tried changing bgColor both before and after I call close on the document object. It doesn't work either way. Of course, I removed the onload event handler from the BODY element in the XSLT before trying this.
Thanks again for your help.
