[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: Experience with XSLT in IE6?
 Sorry for posting this off-list but I think it's a bit off-topic for the list... I think the topic is okay (it's about XSLT related support on a browser!) so i am replying to the list and take responsibility ;-) In general, [1] and [2] should provide most of the info you need, but here's some answers. All these questions regards Moz XSLT: - Can one pass DOM nodes into XSLT from the scripting environment? Not DOM nodes AFAIK. Parameters in general however are supported. - What happens if the XSLT renders javascript, does it get executed at once (when rendered into the result tree) or when the result is inserted into the final document? (I've seen bug reports regarding this) I have implemented an XML lang that represents ECMAscript (javascript) for a client that wanted to have his scripts in XML. I also made an XML to Script stylesheet (even indents properly) that is usually executed on the client. There have been no bugs regarding script parsing/execution and I believe my usecase is rather extreme. - Is it possible to compile and cache stylesheets? (I think it is but I'm not sure) Mozilla's implementation is build around an object called XSLTProcessor. that may remind you of the MSXML implementation. - You can pass js objects into the stylesheets in IE to do some supporting stuff. Can you do this in Moz? (I know it breaks XSLT compatibility between but it's extremely useful in some cases...) - Can you declare script functions in Moz XSLT (see previous question regarding comptatibility)? - Do you have support for node-set()? No to all three AFAIK. I only care about the last one ;-) - How is the XPath scripting support in Moz with regards to DOM documents? Excellent. In IE, you only have selectNodes and selectSingleNode to apply XPath queries on DOM docs. The result can only be a node of course. Mozilla on the other hand implements DOM Level 3 XPath [3] (the ECMAScript bindings of course). You can also use XPath on HTML docs as well in Moz. I'm interested since I have built a fairly complex client that uses this (in IE, which I have learned to truly hate because of bad error messages and some big memory leaks) and I will probably be interested in porting this in the near future. Mozilla's javascript console, javascript debugger and DOM inspector have prooven themselves as excellent tools in my every day work.
