Hi Meltem, I finished the stylesheet using your advice, and when I browse the xml file with IE5 on my Mac <sob, it's what I use at work>, it's fantastic! You can click the name of any tag at the top of the document to see its definition. I added "to top" links also. Here's the code for the list of links at the top of the page: <a name="top"></a> <xsl:for-each order-by="+ name" select="taglib/tag" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"> <br/><a><xsl:attribute name="href">#<xsl:value-of select="name"/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of select="name"/></a> </xsl:for-each> And the corresponding code for the name links: <xsl:for-each select="taglib/tag" order-by="+ name" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"> <a><xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="name"/></xsl:attribute> <h3><xsl:value-of select="name"/></h3></a> ** tag description stuff here ** <br/><a href="#top">to top</a> </xsl:for-each> I excitedly notified my coworkers about this great resource for our tag library & *nobody* responded. I thought hm, well I guess they're all busy...then I tried browsing the document using IE5 on one of the office PCs (what everybody else uses), and when you click on a link, you get a "page cannot be displayed - cannot find server or DNS error!" Even for the "top" links, which are basically hard-coded into the page. Interestingly, when you roll your mouse over a link, the status bar displays what looks like a perfectly correct link. The same thing happens on my PC at home, running win98 & IE5.5. So I'm wondering if the PCs are missing some component for IE5? Also, is there a way to view the html source that the xsl generates? It might make it easier to troubleshoot the link problem. The actual extension on the xml file is .tld - would that make a difference? Thanks, pq Meltem Kogelbauer wrote: > I understands now.
