XPath 2.0 Functions in IE

[CubeE101]

I am having the same problems as described in post:
thread426-1042988

Has anyone figured this out...?

...or does IE just not support the 2.0 functions...???


My code includes...

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"[/URL]
xmlns:fn="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions"[/URL] >

...

<xsl:variable name="y" select="fn:replace($x,',','')" />

...

And I'm getting the error:

Namespace '

http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions'

does not contain any functions.

Using the alternate namespace:

http://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-functions

I still get the same error...

Any help would be GREATLY appriciated...

Thanks...

IE uses MSXSL parser to do its transformations, which complies with XSL 1.0 and XPath 1.0. Here's a list of functions which its supports:

It doesn't matter if you give the parser a reference to an external namespace - it doesn't know how to process the function.

If you want to use XPath 2.0 functions, you'll have to use a different parser.

Jonty,

Just for clarification - if the parsing is on the client, then the client has to have the updated msxml parser ?

Just for a bit more info on the position, ms seems to be not going to implement xslt2.0/xpath2.0 even in the next release of .net. It's a design decision, many might not agree.

IE 6 comes with MSXSL 4 already installed. Earlier versions of IE have earlier versions of MSXSL, which do not support some functions. No version of MSXSL supports any XPath 2 functions.
