Re: Problem in referencing DHTML 'document' object within <x

Hold on there dobbin, hold your horses.

You aren't going to have any joy trying to manipulate an XSL docuent in
that manner (it's highly questionable as to whether it would be desirable
to allow an XSL document to be manipulated in that manner).

You don't want to be thinking of the XSL document sat in a browser. It is
an XML document, marked up with XSL vocabulary, parsed by an XML/XSL
parser.

The only way I can begin to imagine mainipulating an XSL document in the
ways that you;ve been describing, is to load it into the XML parser, and
manipulate it from outside the parser using the W3C DOM.

An indicator of teh problems you're encountering should be your environment
description in your problem statement. Your trying to use the IE5 DHTML
DOM to manipulate an XML document. XSL is not HTML, it's XML, so the best
DOM to use is the XML DOM.

Cheers
