Probably get a blank page at best. Data islands are a very cool technique,
but are absolutely, positively, only supported by MSIE 5 and up. There's
a way that you can simulate the effect with Javascript, but the code you
need to do that is huge and slow, and probably doesn't allow for dynamic-
ally modifying the XML. Not to mention that it entails the same old routine
of coding one page for Netscape and another for IE.

thanx for the reply.  I'm not so worried about the browser because this page I will be building will only be for internal use and it has been made clear to the people using it that it will only work on MSIE 5 and up.  So currently I'm just more concerned about how "huge and slow" will the page be to run through the script to update/modify the binded XML using javascript.  Or whether this idea is just a bit too airy-fairy to do at the moment.
