With IE8/9/10/11 it is possible to transform XML with
XSLT by double-clicking on the XML file.
If you try the same with Microsoft Edge (RMB click, open with Microsoft Edge), it wont' work. But if the same XML/XSLT files are served from some http:// url, it will work in Edge too.
It would seem that Edge enforces the same-origin limitation as Google Chrome/Chromium, see Chromium issue47416"Allow a directory tree to be treated as a single origin (loosen file: URL restrictions)". But this is only a guess since there is no error / warning message in the console if I press F12.
This issue is also referenced by a forum post by Ye Win Ko in the Windows Desktop Development -> Windows Desktop Search Help titled "XSLT for transforming XML to HTML is not working well in microsoft edge browser."
Performing in-browser XSLT processing without Javascript is an important use case for us, can you please make it work in Edge as it used to in IE ?
