1. Hi, nice article. I just wonder where the GetXmlStringFromXmlDoc function is defined? Is it native somewhere or did you forget to include that one?

   Regards,

2. No forgot that one, but I don’t have the code any more 😉

3. ah, ok. Too bad… 🙂

4. Hi,
   I have successfully transform XML to XSL for IE9 by modified some minor changes in above function.
   But for following line:

   document.all(“myIsland”).XMLDocument.selectSingleNode(“//element[@id=’123456789′]/descendant::element[@mn=’subchapitre’ and not(@chg = ‘deleted’) and not(@display=’false’)]/@id”);

   give js error like :

   Error: Expected token ‘eof’ found ‘:’.
   //element[@id=’123456789′]/descendant–>:<–:element[@mn='subchapitre' and not(@chg = 'deleted') and not(@display='false')]/@id.

   Can anyone help me??

   Any Help Greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance….

   Thanks man – exactly what I needed (almost!)

   Maybe you can update the title of the post a little to help others?
   This problem exists IE9 and greater – I’m specifically experiencing it with IE11 (beta o__O)

   @Jörgen

   I found this function as it was didn’t work in Chrome, so I used the XMLSerializer:
   So for example:

   if (typeof(GetXmlStringFromXmlDoc)!= “undefined”)
   {
   return GetXmlStringFromXmlDoc(xmlFragment);
   }
   else
   {
   // chrome friendly

   // get a xml serializer object
   var xmls = new XMLSerializer();

   // convert dom into string
   var sResult = xmls.serializeToString(xmlFragment);
   //extract contents of transform iix node if it is present
   if (sResult.indexOf(” -1)
   {
   sResult = sResult.substring(sResult.indexOf(“>”) + 1, sResult.lastIndexOf(“<"));
   }
   return sResult;
   }

   The revised function is now:

   function TransformToHtmlText(xmlDoc, xsltDoc)
   {
   // 1.
   if (typeof (XSLTProcessor) != "undefined")
   {
   var xsltProcessor = new XSLTProcessor();
   xsltProcessor.importStylesheet(xsltDoc);
   var xmlFragment = xsltProcessor.transformToFragment(xmlDoc, document);

   if (typeof(GetXmlStringFromXmlDoc)!= "undefined")
   {
   return GetXmlStringFromXmlDoc(xmlFragment);
   }
   else
   {
   // chrome friendly

   // get a xml serializer object
   var xmls = new XMLSerializer();

   // convert dom into string
   var sResult = xmls.serializeToString(xmlFragment);
   //extract contents of transform iix node if it is present
   if (sResult.indexOf(" -1)
   {
   sResult = sResult.substring(sResult.indexOf(“>”) + 1, sResult.lastIndexOf(“<"));
   }
   return sResult;
   }
   }
   // 2.
   if (typeof (xmlDoc.transformNode) != "undefined")
   {
   return xmlDoc.transformNode(xsltDoc);
   }
   else {

   var activeXOb = null;
   try { activeXOb = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XSLTemplate"); } catch (ex) {}

   try {
   // 3
   if (activeXOb)
   {
   var xslt = activeXOb;
   var xslDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument");
   xslDoc.loadXML(xsltDoc.xml);
   xslt.stylesheet = xslDoc;
   var xslProc = xslt.createProcessor();
   xslProc.input = xmlDoc;
   xslProc.transform();

   return xslProc.output;
   }
   }
   catch (e)
   {
   // 4
   alert("The type [XSLTProcessor] and the function [XmlDocument.transformNode] are not supported by this browser, can't transform XML document to HTML string!");
   return null;
   }

   }
   }

9. This will work in IE11 too, if you change:
   if (window.ActiveXObject)

   to:
   if (window.ActiveXObject || “ActiveXObject” in window)

10. I tried with this. But the output HTML has \r\n in it. I need to display the HTML within an element.

    This transform returns whole HTML i.e. including and and converting it into JQuery object does not yield the result due to \r\n.

11. IE-11 still not working after changing to if (window.ActiveXObject || “ActiveXObject” in window).

    Please provide solutions
