<YourComment author = "James Tauber"> Now, I don't like this approach for a number of reasons, one of which is that I have to hardcode the categories in the stylesheet. I wasn't able to parameterize the above template. </YourComment> <Response> This isn't an ideal solution but since no one else is stepping up to the plate: What about having XSL stylesheets that produce the category-specific XML and XSL. That is, you can have an XML file like: <CategoryList> <Category> <Title>Foos</Title> <Desc>Foos are widgets that are good for fooing.</Desc> <Product Type="foo"/> <Category> <CategoryList> and a couple of XSL scripts that generate the Category page XML file and the XSL file. That way you only have to have your category information in one file. One of the great things about have XSL be an XML application is that you can have one XSL stylesheet generate another one. This meta-XSL can do the paramaterization that you are loooking for. </Respone> Toivo Lainevool _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
