Hi Jonathan, Jonathan Borden said: Again, the most important feature for me, not yet implemented is document() support. Hint Hint... Didier replies: I cannot agree more on that. the Document() function is the angular stone of web services usage based on URL request. Just imagine having the possibility to make a SQL call with a URL and get back an XML document fragment. Furthermore, to be able to get within that fragment the exact element/elements through Xpath. As a concrete example: document('http://www.mysqlserver.com/sql=select * from mytable')/row/name and get a bunch of names from the data base and get it inserted in the document to be processed and style it with the rendition language of our choice be it to be XHTML, SVG, VoiceML, SMIL and tutti quanti. Yes indeed, the document function is where the magic potion is hidden Please Jonathan (Marsh) buy a couple of "Asterix the Gaelic" books to your team and bring to us this wanted magic potion ;-) Cheers Didier PH Martin ---------------------------------------------- Email: martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Conferences: Web Chicago(http://www.mfweb.com) XML Europe (http://www.gca.org) Book: XML Professional (http://www.wrox.com) column: Style Matters (http://www.xml.com) Products: http://www.netfolder.com XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
