I am not a Mac user these days, but my understanding is that things get much easier if you use OS X, since it's essentially a BSD flavor of Unix under the hood, and you can run command-line apps much more easily. A while back, people reported success using James Clark's XT, the original, Java-based XSLT implementation, on pre-OS X platforms. You can find info on that in the "External Issues" section of the XSL FAQ at http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect4/N8976.html You might be able to use the same technique to get Saxon to work on your platform, as well. If you do, please report the results here. > - What software should I ask my web hosting provider to install > on the server for server side XSL? (I am familiar with Perl and > PHP) There are various ways to go about it and it really depends on your requirements and what platform and HTTP server your provider uses. You'll find that it can be as simple as a CGI script that invokes your favorite XSLT processor, or as complex as a completely isolated, database-backed document management system with a built-in XSLT processor and HTTP server. Since you're just getting started, I advise you deal with one thing at a time. Get started with doing transformations locally, or on a remote host where you can run an XSLT processor easily, via command-line apps. Once your XSLT code does what you want, then you can worry about getting an XSLT processor integrated into a web site. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________________ mike j. brown | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ denver/boulder, colorado, usa | resume: http://skew.org/~mike/resume/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
