[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: XSL in IE5
Keep comming to this mailling list for a couple of months more and you will notice how fair David is being. Notice that: - I am a MSXML 3 user myself; - David mentioned that "MSXML3 looks like it will be a fine product with full support for XSL". You may have a 17% vision but you know how to search for stuff in the Web. In practice, that seems to lead to better results than having a better vision but not being good at searching. The fact is that this mailling list receives a lot of questions like the ones mentioned by David. The problems he mentions are a FACT.
