This is my xml file: (an example from xml black book)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<simple xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
xlink:type="simple"
xlink:href="http://www.site.com/info.xml">
This is my link to xml
</simple>
I am opening this file in IE5. And expecting to go to "http://www.site.com/info.xml" on clicking on "This is
my link to xml" just like the hypertext of html. But the link
itself is not active.
In short, I want to go the page "http://www.site.com/info.xml"?
How can I achieve that?

I guess IE doesn�t support Xlinks,
Mozilla M17 and Link are said to support it at the certain degree.
Oh, yeah, read what guru said

I downloaded Mozilla and it works!!! Xlink is dependant on
many other libraries so not a good choice, I believe.
But Mozilla is unable to show the xml file in text view as IE does. Meaning if your xml file is a well formed but no xsl or
css is applied to it still IE browser will show the xml file in a tree format. But Mozilla just shows a blank page. If xml file is not well formed, mozilla gives the error in the page.
Thanks Map (It is short to spell)
