I like XSLT, but is it it a coincidence that XSLT in general is not exchanged on the Web today? Instead it is processed locally on the server side. In practice, XSLT is as or more unreliable when delivered to clients than JavaScript and DOM. I used to think this was purely because of bad implementations, but now I'm not so sure. Perhaps the problems that plague client side XSLT are endemic to any effort to exchange a data model instead of syntax. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu Processing XML with Java (Addison-Wesley, 2002) http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xmljava http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0201771861/cafeaulaitA
