Like Eckel's "Thinking in" books, Kay's "XSLT Programmer's Reference" provides you with a kind of philosophy of the language, a way to think in the language that allows you to make full use of it. As others have already said here, it's highly recommended for anyone doing serious work with XSLT. You *can* try to program XSLT like a procedural language, but you won't get very much joy of it, if you do. Amy! -- Amelia A. Lewis alicorn@m... amyzing@t...
