 I did according to what you said here and downloaded the MSXML Parser Beta Release, July 2000 from msdn. and so instead of using the following processor: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"> I tried to use this one. <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> The result is that when the browser encounters the following part, it stops showing my XML -> HTML accordingly. The old one works fine. function even(e) { return childNumber(e) % 2; } function whichColor(e) { if (even(e)) return "yellow"; else return "white"; } function selectedColor(e) { if (even(e)) return "#bbddbb"; else return "#dddddd"; } Can someone tell me what's wrong.

In general, when to use XSL and when to use XSLT? The only reason you should use the version of XSL supported by the MSXML 1 parser/processor that comes with IE5 is if you have a requirement to support that specific environment. It is a dead language and will not be supported in anything else. You can download an updated version of MSXML (3 I believe is the current release) from msdn.microsoft.com and then run 'xmlinst' to merge it into IE5, if you want to support most of XSLT in the browser. You may find that until MSXML is completed and a new version of IE is released with it installed, XML-> HTML transformations are better accomplished with server-side, command-line XSLT processors that fully implement the XPath and XSLT specs. I recommend you try Instant Saxon. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
