Um, wow: XSLT *in* the browser

ziggy on 2001-12-06T14:59:46

XMLHack is running a story about TinyXSL, an in-browser implementation of an (almost-compliant) XML Parser (DOMish tree parser) and a language substantially similar to XSLT. The whole thing is written in ECMAScript.

It's not a mindbendingly funky hack like CPR, or Abigail's regex for the sieve of Eratosthenes, but it is out there. Unfortunately, Mozilla isn't doing a very good job of running it at the moment, so you'll have to use IE to see the FAQ.


XSLT in the browser

Both mozilla and IE can already do XSLT in the browser. Just send XML with an xml-stylesheet processing instruction.

Yes, but that's not the point. The whole thing was written in JavaScript!

There's an order of magnitude more insanity associated with doing it that way than just using IE or Mozilla and real technology. :-)
