Hi Joerg,
I'm just experimenting with ways of using xml/xsl. Sure I could use css, but I prefer keeping things clean and maintainable from one file. I'm a great believer in a clear seperation between data and layout, and the simplier I can find ways to control the styling the better, which is why I was hoping to do away with css altogether and use xsl templates for everything.
I'm using a server-side asp transform for the processing, so any use of xsl/xml needs to be very efficient to compete with a pure asp scripted solution.
Mike

Hi Mike,
if you really want to style every <td> in the same way, why don't you want to use CSS?
td { width: 500px; background-color: red; }
If not, what's your processing framework? In Cocoon for example a 2 step transformation would be really easy. More information on xalan:nodeset() you can find at
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensionslib.html#ex-nodeset.

The reason for wanting to process <td> in a seperate match was that it

wherethe <td> was in the xml or written by another match I wanted one place
Iit's attributes could be set generically, a bit like using xsl as a css.
I'm not that familar with extensions used in Michael Kay's approach. Am
xsl/xmlright in thinking that to use node-set I need to install something like Xalan.exe, and this will then pass a string back into a node set? How do these extensions effect efficiency of the tranform? I've been told

processa pure asp solution, so am a bit reluctent to start complicating the
further with external calls. Dooes anyone know of or have any good bench marks?
Cheers,
