My test case was a simple restaurant menu that showed sandwiches on one page and salads on another. The displays are the same with only the names of the items, prices, descriptions being different. I could do the same using XHR and javascript to write to the DOM but client side XSLT does that part as well so I question if I am missing something. > > Regards, > > Michael Kay > http://www.saxonica.com/ > http://twitter.com/michaelhkay > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Rob Belics [mailto:rob_belics@xxxxxxxxxxx] > > Sent: 02 January 2010 14:31 > > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Subject: [xsl] Modern web site design with XML and XSLT > > > > You can't find a book with that title.
