   Hmm... I guess I'm confused about your definition of "embedded 
stylesheeet". My XML doc and XSLT file are seperate. When I mean "flat" 
XSLT file, I'm talking about expanded values for <xsl:for-each> and 
<xsl:if>, etc. I'm trying to see what my browser sees before it parses it, 
as thats the only way I know how to debug a stylesheet. I'm not trying to 
do anything fancier than take XML input and produce HTML output, but with 
having Javascript at the top to do some fancy things based on the XML 
input. In effect, I want my XSLT to create a Javascript/HTML hybrid output 
page. From what xsltproc is outputting, thats exactly what I'm getting.

I should ahve clarified my former statements by saying "When I take 
xsltproc's output and look at it like an HTML file, it works." I.E. the 
HTML output from xsltproc works as expected.. but IE is not. It complains 
of things like "'FirstLink' is undefined", when it appears in my 
xlsproc'ed output as a division name. That pretty much tells me that IE is 
producing output thats completely different than xsltproc.

I totally understand that I need more tutorials regarding XSLT and XML, 
but the truth of the matter is this: I can't find any good ones that 
explain some of the finer points of what I'm attempting to do. Of course, 
because I don't have formal training in the material, I'm probably not 
explaining my problem the way it should be to get the answer I'm looking 
for. Sorry about the confusion.
