The only reason you should use the version of XSL supported by the MSXML 1 parser/processor that comes with IE5 is if you have a requirement to support that specific environment. It is a dead language and will not be supported in anything else. You can download an updated version of MSXML (3 I believe is the current release) from msdn.microsoft.com and then run 'xmlinst' to merge it into IE5, if you want to support most of XSLT in the browser. You may find that until MSXML is completed and a new version of IE is released with it installed, XML-> HTML transformations are better accomplished with server-side, command-line XSLT processors that fully implement the XPath and XSLT specs. I recommend you try Instant Saxon. > 3. are the syntax similar just the names (such as value-of) changed? There are significant differences. > 4. where can I find an online tutorial on XSLT? learn by example: http://www.zvon.org/ZvonHTML/Zvon/zvonTutorials_en.html read a terse but thorough tutorial: http://www.cranesoftwrights.com/training/#ptux-dl read a verbose but short tutorial: http://metalab.unc.edu/xml/books/bible/updates/14.html - Mike ____________________________________________________________________ Mike J.
