[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: XSL
 Hi Anton, I do the same thing but on the server-side. Have a look at IBM's Alphaworks site into the source of the XMLEnabler. This is a servlet that does the same thing. It even gives you a chance to decide which XSL you use for which user agent (browser). Therefore you can transform your data on the server and serve it to all available browsers out there just by providing different XSL stylesheets. I find that rather amazing, and it is simple too!
