I'd actually recommend detecting which browser you're serving content to and making the decision based on that. (get hit by NS 4 = serve the processed xml, get hit by NS 6 = serve the 'raw' xml). But that's just my opinion. - Theo -----Original Message----- From: TP [mailto:tpass001@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 2:39 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] A general question Hi, > It would make it browser independent, but I'm not sure it would make it > faster (more work being done on the server, so unless you have a very small > number of people using your web site or a very beefy server it would actually > make it slower). So, is it not a good idea to parse on the back end if by doing so, we lose performance. What do developers generally do? Do they use front-end parsing or back-end parsing? I know that there are a few book authors on this list. What would you recommend? Thanks, TP. > > Whatever you do depends on what server-side language you use.
