Re: [xsl] Maintaining XML via Form Post

["Karl Stubsjoen" <karl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"Many" may have implied too many, I'm talking appx 5-10 roundtrips.
Necessary roundtrips, pulling data from the database, populating
(collecting) certain results into an XML document based on user input.

Is there a recommended ASP VB XML XSLT developer mailing list someone could
recommend?

Thanks for the input.  Posting the XML data sounds doable (realizing that
I'll need to LoadXML from a form field).
