Nic Agreed - I follow Oracle closely being an ex employee and also specialising in their technologies - so I'm also not a M$fan! - but M$ is one of the leaders in this area (along with IBM and Oracle) so the next version of IE will probably be closer to the current standard - how long that will be is anybodies guess ? Hopefully a service pack will fix it ? >From my perspective, I can't wait until someone designs a GUI XSL editor environment which allows you to load any XML file/fragment and graphically design how you'd like it to be displayed - not sure if anyone has built this/will build it but if they do it would be cool.... For now I am just a novice at this leading edge technology and I must unfortunately investigate it within the boundaries set by my current client - which means IE5. I'll be watching your site carefully for help in learning the technology - hopefully one day I can contribute something. Jeff PS - If anyone is doing XML/XSL with Oracle stuff I'd be interested to talk to you over email about what you/I are doing.... -----Original Message----- From: Miloslav Nic [mailto:nicmila@xxxxxxxx] Sent: 11 August 1999 14:45 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: integrate a special link I am definitely not a M$ fan, but I dislike their ways they treat costumers and it has nothing to do with their programmers. Some of their programs are really cool and I am quite sure that many of them are not happy about the way Microsoft goes. But there is one important lesson. M$ is a very important player in XSL and XML area. WE MUST PRESS ON THEM TO REALLY COMPLY WITH STANDARDS. I am convinced that XML and XSL will succeeded without MS, but much faster with MS.
