RE: how to change xsl dynamically?

["Sam.Walker" <Sam.Walker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't speak for Michele, but the solution I am looking for does not
involve an http server. 
example
If I had three files on my machine myinfo.xml, filter1.xsl, filter2.xsl. I
want to use my web browser to view myinfo.xml using filter1.xsl or
filter2.xsl. I have not identified a way to achieve this without 
(a) modifiying myinfo.xml or 
(b) using a http server with a server side script/application.
I guess that my problem is that the style sheet is specified in the header
of the xml document, and this means that without modifying the xml file
there is only one view of the information.
Is there a way or technique which allows you to specify in a seperate
document - 'use this xml document and render it with this style sheet'?
eg forgive the syntax - myinfo_filter1.xml
<xml:include select='test3.xml'>
<xsl:include select="filter1.xsl>

hi,
	maybe i do not understand fully the question, but if
	the problem is to change xsl dynamically you could
try to do like this:
you write a common stylesheet in which you import another stylesheet
the  name of this stylesheet is a param-variable, so that you can change it
from
for example a servlet.
when you call for example the servlet, based on a value entered by the user
you use
the instruction setStylesheetParam() to set the name of the xsl stylesheet.
Have i understood the problem correctly?
best regards
