Tim, Thanks for the reply. I found the problem - the Wrox XSLT book is written to conform with the latest spec's of xslt. IE5 isn't. I've downloaded the latest version (3) of the msxml parser here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?URL=/downloads/sample.asp?ur l=/msdn-files/027/001/596/msdncompositedoc.xml Sorry, that namespace xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"(Working Draft-xsl) has been superseded. The current standard is xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" Thanks, dante ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Kuhn Marla Adams" <timmarla1 at home.com> To: <thelist at lists.evolt.org> Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2001 11:53 AM Subject: [thelist] RE: XML - XSL conversion: not working? > Dante, I am not in the profesion yet so this may be a weak answer but I have > had all sorts of problems with Wrox's XLST.
