Using 1999/XSL/Transform Namespace 1

[tmryan]

I'm a newbie to XML/XSL - but I can't seem to solve a simple problem. I'm trying to use XSL to sort output (preferably in an apply-templates). When I use <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot;

version=&quot;1.0&quot;>
it's as if someone turns the lights out. I get nothing. If I change back to <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;

http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl&quot;

version=&quot;1.0&quot;>
then I at least get output - but can't use sort with that namespace. I'm using IE 5.5. Is there a problem with IE 5.5 and XSL?
Below are my xml ans xsl.

Hello, tmryan,
As far as I know, if you use namingspace

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform

you have to do XSL transformation on the server (using ASP or JSP, or ...)
I would suggest reading for server-side ASP XSLT:

http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/xsl_server.asp

Hope this helps, D.

To use &quot;

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot;

with IE5.5 you have to download and install MSXML 3.0 SP1 from Microsoft and run XmlInst.exe to replace the Parser used by the Internet explorer.

If you just want to do things programmatically without viewing the XML-files in the Browser there is no need to replace the default Parser through Xmlinst.
