> The wysiwyg edit > buffer is styled with CSS and it works fine.</shameless_plug> Oh I should add, for a wysiwyg-ish edit buffer then CSS is far preferable to XSLT, as editing in a transformed document means doing the (possibly non existent) reverse transform from the tree being displayed back to the source. However unles you are editing really simple documents this means that what-you-see is not what-you-get but rather a wysiwyg-style view of the source tree. This is a useful thing and I have no complaints about that, but while I'm happy while editing to see the source tree, possibly decorated and styled with CSS, that isn't what I want to render in the final document view, I can't think of any situations when I wouldn't want transformation at that stage. (For browsers without transform, do the transformation in advance and send them html, if they haven't a transformaton language engine there seems little point in sending them xml) David _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
