I guess that there are some xxx things that can be done using Javascript and the DOM, and that cannot be done in XSLT. Not even thinking about Turing-completeness we should first be aware that XSLT has ***limited*** access to certain kinds of data. This affects what can be done with XSLT, even though it is Turing-complete. There are examples (including some in your book) of processing, which cannot be done in "pure" XSLT due to the limited access to information -- the XML - Infoset model. This is certainly a minor, but necessary correction. Dimitre Novatchev. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
