Re: IE6:clientside - XML to string?

 Hi,

 Thanks, but the XML tag is the way to identify xml and xsl for IE
client-side inside an html document (which is transformed server-side,
fwiw).

The code I gave would be enough to operate on a W3C DOM (1?) representation
of the XML document. It is not the DHTML dom.  I was asking for a way to
take the DOM representation of the XML document and convert it to a string.

IE6, I believe, has fully implemented DOM1 and you can access a downloaded
XML client-side with it through JavaScript.

thanks,
Rob

p.s. I would have asked Chris B. directly, but thought his answer could
benefit everyone :)
