No fair! You need to compare XSLT against Javascript+DOM and all of XSL against Javascript+DOM+CSS. If your interest is in going from XML->display then I think that "all of XSL" is certainly a simpler route. Can you imagine, for example, a single book that goes into great detail on JavaScript AND the DOM AND CSS? I think that it would be rather large. -- Paul Prescod - ISOGEN Consulting Engineer speaking for only himself http://itrc.uwaterloo.ca/~papresco Alabama's constitution is 100 years old, 300 pages long and has more than 600 amendments.
