Initiate XSLT with js in IE8 fails: ActiveXObject not defined

[drhowarddrfine]

According to the examples on this page, I should be able to initiate xslt to run xml files but the examples just give me a blank html page. The example should give a "Hello, World".

I'm not sure if I should be posting this here or somewhere else.

I'm not sure if I should be posting this here or somewhere else.

the only other forum I could think of is the windows forum (the XML forum would be useless here), but I doubt they have more experience regarding IE8.

In the example, they use ActiveXObject(" Msxml2.DOMDocum ent.6.0"). A quick look around tells me I should be using ("Microsoft.XML DOM")? That doesn't work either. Both give me an error in the developer javascript console: Uncaught ReferenceError: ActiveXObject is not defined.

It would be nice if this thread could be retitled "ActiveXObj ect not defined" cause that's the real problem apparently.

Apparently, ActiveXObject is not available in the browser? So I need to acquire the xml/xsl files via XHR?

[drhowarddrfine]

Never mind. Embarrassingly stupid mistake. Looking at the wrong browser.

Which browser were you supposed to be looking at?
