HI Guy <YourComment> I was under the (possibly wrong) impression that as rendering of XML with CSS is possible there must be a high degree of seperation between the rendering engine and the interpreter, where did I go wrong in this notion? I confess to not knowing enough about how a browser rendering engine works under the hood. </YourComment> <Reply> We are going toward that but not there yet. The next CSS2 implementation and DOM2 force to get this separation. Off course the new object are derived from what was there but the engines are not clearly separated. Form+ will be and Mozilla MGlayout also. But this is work in progress. IE 5.b2 is based on Form+ (early release) and is more closer to the objective and this is why you can render xml with CSS (in fact, CSS is forcing engines to get this separation). In NG layout we have to clean the bug count. But both do not have an external plug, just internal function calls (DOM1 is too limited to offer external plug but DOM2 is more complete). Next version will include external plug either as DOM2 or as an other kind of API. But the struggle now is with stability (i.e. bug catching :-) this may take some month for NGlayout. </Reply> Regards Didier PH Martin mailto:martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.netfolder.com XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
