Hi! I would like some advice on how to go about expanding my knowledge in XML. I am playing around with a intranet site and hopefully can put it into production some time. Very basic and it uses client-side XML. Our standard platform is MS IE 5.5 without plug-ins, so I am quite limited. I did install the new MSXML4 parser, but it only runs in side-by-side mode. Upgrading 10 000 computers to the new parser is pretty much an impossibility, so my client-side XML will always have a limited audience. My eventual goal is to have something that can be displayed as easily on a Palm or cell phone as on a personal computer. I just found out that one of my development servers supports ASP, so I can try to create server-side XML code. I do not know what version of parsers the servers use; I'm still trying to figure out how to test if I can have server-side XML on them. (All I did was a simple ASP file to get the time, and a ASP file to output an XML structure to my browser.) My question is should I jump into ASP and use that for server-side XML, should I download XALAN and use that, or should I try to get the MSXML4 to work and use some of the cool XML features such as variables?
