hello,
tried you book.htm/xml/xsl
Works in IE6 but not in Firefox 1.4 and Opera 8.52:

This is in the JS-Console of Firefox:
Fehler: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Not enough arguments [nsIXMLHttpRequest.send]" nsresult: "0x80570001 (NS_ERROR_XPC_NOT_ENOUGH_ARGS)" location: "JS frame :: http://localhost/ajax/professional/C...sited/book.htm :: init :: line 19" data: no]

Any ideas???

It's impossible to know what the problem is without seeing the code that you are using or at least referencing which example you are having problems with. If you can be more specific, we may be able to help.

It it the example from chapter 4, the files book.htm, book.xml and book.xsl, for cross-browser.
It is in the download: CH04\XSLT\Best Picks Revisited

For Firefox you should use null as a parameter for send() method if there is no data to be sent:
Sorry, Nicholas, I've missed it somehow :).

As regards Opera there are other problems and as far as I understand this example was not intended to work in it.

Hi,
works fine now in Firefox, but not in Opera 8.52

Error:

Book XML Exercise
http://localhost/ajax/professional/xsl/book.htm
Unknown thread
Error:
name: TypeError
message: Statement on line 1: Type mismatch (usually a non-object value used where an object is required)
Backtrace:

  Line 8 of inline#1 script in http://localhost/ajax/professional/xsl/book.htm
    transformXml(oReq.responseText);

Ugghh. That's my fault, Alexei.

As for Opera: Opera 8.x doesn't support XSL or XPath. Opera 9 (yet to be released) does, however, and may be covered in future revisions of Professional Ajax. Unfortunately, Opera (any version) still does not implement an XML DOM =/
