Deploying XSLT in Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer 5.0 was released with earlier versions of Microsoft XML (MSXML) that do not support XSLT. To deploy your XSLT solution as a web application using Internet Explorer, you have the following options:

• If you want to use the MSXML 4.0 features, use the version dependent ProgIDs for MSXML 4.0 in a script. Valid ProgIDs are discussed in GUID and ProgID Information.
• If MSXML 4.0 features are not required, use XSL, the language that preceded XSLT. For more information about XSL, see the XSL documentation included with the MSXML 2.5 SDK, available from MSDN®.
• If you wish to avoid client-side upgrade of MSXML 4.0, use XSLT on the server with Active Server Pages (ASP) to transform XML documents and send HTML output to the client. With this option, you do not need to be concerned about the version of MSXML running on the client.
