How does Internet Explorer format XML files in a collapsible view, and how can I modify this behavior?
For XML files that do not have a stylesheet associated, Microsoft Internet Explorer uses a default XSL stylesheet to create a DHTML rendering of the XML file. Depending on which version of MSXML you are using, you can browse to either res://msxml3.dll/DEFAULTSS.xsl or res://msxml.dll/DEFAULTSS.xsl. The res:// URN format indicates that the XSL file is compiled as a resource directly into the dll. If you have a binary resource editor (such as the one included with Visual C++), you can edit the XSL directly inside the MSXML dll and save back into the binary file. Alternately, you can start with a copy of the stylesheet from http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/samples/defaultss/defaultss.xsl. Joshua Allen
