Calling XSLT via Javascript keeps IE in standards mode, making it possible to write a small CSS hack file for IE 6, instead of having to maintain different CSS altogether to support all versions of IE. IIRC, though, client-side XSLT doesn't change the Content-Type of the document with the XML PI, so if that document is application/xml then its output will be also, instead of being rendered as HTML -- meaning good luck getting forms and such to work, even if you can get them styled. So I stick with text/html for IE, with a standards-mode DOCTYPE, and the CSS links are in the <head> of the document the client receives, for performance. -Eric
