Browser Support for XSLT 2.0

dennis_wimer · June 23rd, 2007, 08:10 AM

Can anyone provide information regarding browser support for XSLT 2.0? I would like to create XML transformations using 2.0 commands that are viewable in some of the more traditional browsers -- IE/Mozilla Firefox/Netscape/etc.

I love the extensions available in 2.0, but have this difficulty in finding a way to display. Perhaps I need to stop trying to create an HTML representation and concentrate on a PDF presentation.

General advise? Michael?

At present, sadly, there is no browser support for XSLT 2.0

Michael,

Very sorry to hear that. Hopefully, that will change very, very soon. I hate it when advances to technology hit brick walls of ignorance.

BTW: Your XSLT 2.0 book is very enlightening. Now, if I could only use what I am learning. ;)

Another short question:

Are there any plans to separate XSLT 2.0 topics from XSLT 1.0 topics?

If I may reopen this question, since the last response was roughly 3 years ago. Has anything changed? Is there still no XSLT 2.0 browser support? Or do I have to do XSLT 2.0 transformations server-side?

Not as far as I know. Given that Microsoft has abandoned XSLT 2.0 then there's no chance of IE supporting it. I don't know if any of the other main browsers have any ambitions towards it.

Dang. Well that answers the question of XSLT 2.0 support client-side. Thanks for the info.
