browser compatibility with XML/XSL

[Amar Galla]

Is XML / XSL processing possible with 4.0 browsers?

I am required to create a huge data driven site, but one requirement is that
people with old browers must be able to see the site. I cannot limit the
audience to a particular browsers or only 5.0 browsers.

Can anyone tell me what parts of XML can be used so that I have XML
support and flexibility and can make my site work on 4.0 browsers ( both
netscape and MSIE).

Thanking you,
Amar

With IE: only rudimentary. With Netscape: nope.

Don't even bother. Let your server do the transforms, and serve plain
HTML.

then I guess, the hype of XML on the WEB is still far to be practical. Cause
at server side, why do I need XML. I can just use normal SQL and ASP
statements to serve my purpose. Cause requesting an XML stream data from SQL
Server and then parsing it from ASP will put additional burden, than doing
it with recordsets. Isn't it so.

The value at the server side comes from interoperability with trading
partners and from clean separation of code from presentation which ASP does
not give you.
