XSL question: What's the difference between a template processor vs. DOMDocument?

made a boo boo in the code above:

var xslDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument");

should be:

var xslDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.4.0");

Just to be clear, I gave you three examples of:

myProc.output = foo

You choose one of the three, as appropriate, and use it--not all three at the same time.  If you were doing this server-side, you'd probably write to the response stream directly, and call myProc.transform() at the point in the page where you want  the results to stream to the client.  

I guess I should proof read *before* I click submit!

My application is standalone and will consist of a server side.  I'm then assuming that I should just use:

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("myXMLData.xml");

var xslDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");
xslDoc.async = false;
xslDoc.load("myStylesheet.xslt");

Also, I notice in all the examples that no one codes error handling.  Isn't it good to check if the the XML and XSL loaded?

Thanks.



 

Thanks again for the excellent description.  You certainly desearve all the points you get :).
