As far as I know, an XSLT stylesheet cannot be included via a LINK tag. XSLT only applies to XML data, and first, these link tags are not XML (no closing tag), and second, LINK tags only apply to HTML and XHTML. The correct way to link stylesheets to XML pages is with the xml-stylesheet processing instruction. (http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-stylesheet/) Unfortunately, that doesn't tell you what happens. I would think that since an XSLT stylesheet transforms pure data into something more displayable, you should run that first and then style it with CSS, since the pure data may not be in a good order for display. But Ian's suggestion makes sense too. The "correct" behavior should be mentioned somewhere in a spec. > <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"> > <link rel="stylesheet" type="application/xml" href="transform.xsl"> to > <?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="style.css"?> > <?xml-stylesheet type="application/xml" href="transform.xsl"?> Jeffrey
