RE: Namespaces and IE5.5 (not IE 5.0)

[Don Bruey <dbruey at CreativeSolutions dot com>]

typo on the original posting:  
	<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xslt="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0"> 
should say
	<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

	note the correct one should have had xmlns:xsl, not xmlns:xslt.   

	Thanks
	Don
