Hi. The result of an XSL transformation is a result tree, which is passed the the browser to render or whatever. It's down to the browser as to whether it allows you to dynamicaly alter the DOM after rendering. I might well be missing something, but I don't see the difference with regard to dynamic mainupulation of a document between HTML FOs and XSL FOs. With dHTML you have to scope the elements you're interested in manipulating either *this*, by indexing a collection, or by ID. You can surely scope XSL FOs in the browser by the same methods, and then change the FO as you seem fit. Working on the assumption that I am missing something fundamental in your arguement can you give a more specific example of the problems you foresee. Can I not simply manipulate FOs dynamically.... I need to take a closer look at the rec this weekend I think.

If I'm not certain where they are, I'd have to re-transform it all. This is a common occurrence - think for example of a button which causes all links in the text to be highlighted. I haven't found anything in the FO specs which would allow me to say "all these elements have the exact same background color" - and let me access this color in a single place in the DOM later on.
