When you have side-by-side installation of XML parsers, you can create a different instance of the DOMDocument object for each parser. You just need to specify the parser's progID when creating the instance. The following code shows how to create an instance of the DOMDocument object using the version-dependent progID Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0:

var xmldoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
var xsldoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
Similarly, to use the 2.6 version you will write:

var xmldoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.2.6");
var xsldoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.2.6");
