I have just tested in IE11 with the 7,4,0,8 version ScriptX downloaded to its hard drive. But this time I was testing from a site on a different web server where the XLST code for
formatting is still pointing to the older version (6,5,439,12) ScriptX. This round of testing was done to the same document that was mentioned in my previous posting, but this time the formatting is correct. When I say correct formatting, I judge it by looking
at one of the pages where all the text is supposed to fit into one page. When the formatting is messed up, the last two paragraphs will spill over to the next page. This PC does not have any previous version of ScriptX downloaded to its hard drive priort to
the 7.0 version. I'm not clear exactly how ScriptX work here. The versions on the web server and on the hard drive do not match. But no error was generated. And I did not switch the browser to Compatibility View. Will you explain to how this could have worked.
Does this mean IE1 does not treat my XSLT code differently from IE8? Or is there some other reason.
On the other hand, I tested in IE10 with the identical scenario as described
above (two versions of ScriptX do not match), formatting was still incorrect unless I switch to Compatibility View. It behaved exactly the same as when I tested with versions of ScriptX being identical.
I'm not sure how to go about reproducing what I'm seeing. The only way I can judge if the formatting is correct or not is going through the pages one by one in Print Preview. The
only way I can think of is to scan the pages and attach them to my email. Any other suggestions?
