Re: [xml-dev] XML support in browsers?To: Dan Vint <dvint@-----.--->, "xml-dev@-----.---.---" Date: 6/5/2009 8:42:00 PM Hello, I'm in charge of XSLTForms project which is a client-side XForms implementation based on XSLT 1.0 to convert XForms to (X)HTML+Javascript (http://www.agencexml.com/xsltforms). XSLTForms transformation is complex and uses almost every feature in XSLT 1.0. Curiously, FireFox is the only one still not implementing the namespace axis while workarounds have to be found for passing fragments as parameters for named templates with Opera, but that's all what I encountered. For "standard" XSLT code, no difference is seen between browsers and compatibility problems I detect between browsers are always located in the Javascript parts (event management,...). XSLT 1.0 support in browsers is not a problem anymore, in fact. Except Konqueror, every common browser supports XSLT 1.0. Even IE5.5, because of MSXML, correctly performs the XSLTForms transformation. The transformation by itself is very fast too, because it's done by compiled instructions. So relatively limited clients can still perform transformations (XSLTForms has been tested with iPhone too !). From XSLTForms point of view, XSLT can be considered as a very good compiler. That's why I encourage you to test your transformation with different browsers. I'm optimistic about this. Don't hesitate to contact me for further informations.
