You might find this link useful: Http://www.hypermedic.com/style/xsl/index.htm -----Original Message----- From: Amit Rekhi [SMTP:amitr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, October 22, 1998 8:08 AM To: XSL List Subject: Relation between XSL and DOM Hello, I have just started reading the XSL spec. and am in a little doubt. Kindly excuse me if the doubt happens to very basic :-) The XSL spec. provides a pattern rule which specifies a pattern and a template:- PATTERN :- This will help specify a pattern/sequence of XML elements from the source XML file. QUESTION * In this scenario of patterns , where exactly does DOM fit in? * Are DOM interfaces being used by XSL patterns to select specific XML elements from the source XSL file? The XSL processor makes a tree of the source XML file before processing it. So I feel that when selecting patterns to match with templates , the processor uses DOM interfaces (or may be converting the match = "" syntax into DOM interfaces ) to selectively extract XML elements from the XML source tree before it applies templates to them. Am I right? Thanks in advance for any answers, AMIT XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
