Re: Portability function-available tips

I wrote


    <msxsl:script language="JScript" implements-prefix="exsl">
       function node-set(r) {
    some javascript to return the thing cast to a node set
    which I'm sure you can do but don't have the doc to hand
    }
    </msxsl:script>
    

which isn't entirely true: you could define such a function but
you can't call it node-set as jscript functions can't have - in their
names, and if you call it anything else it doesn't really help.

So you can use the same trick in the other direction: use msxsl:node-set,
and that works natively on msxsl and for exslt processors define that
function using exsltf:function, the following has been tested (for a
change)

As Dimitre has said (and I said in my initial reply) if you are in a
situation where downloading a 3rd party extension to the processor is
OK, a better solution would be to use the msxml4 exslt implementation.
