The document() function may be supported in IE, but only if your

document() function however, is supported in the underlying MSXML DLL.

With the document() function you can fetch any XML document, _provided_
it comes from the _same_ domain (same in Fx and IE).

not exactly the same, though. Firefox does not allow more significant 
paths. I.e., if your XSLT path is 
'http://domain.com/mypath/xsltfiles/my.xslt', then you cannot use 
document() to open something from 'http://domain.com/yourpath'.



In IE you can (but I'm not sure of all versions, MS tends to change 
these things so rapidly....).



In addition, I now suddenly remember that I once had this problem that 
the OP mentioned: using an absolute path was *always* seen as different 
domain by IE, regardless the fact that the domain is equal to the 
current domain. To resolve this, you have to create a relative path for 
IE, instead of an absolute one. (I am not sure this is true in all 
security situations though, or for all versions / SPs of IE).
