[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: XML/XSL and ASP/IIS
 There are reasons why I am doing it like this :
1. The user shall have to directly view the XML page with the applied XSL
stylesheet.
2. Site Server P&M has to be integrated, so ASP has to be used as I use this
to determine security levels on the server and send the appropriate XML
rather than sending it all to the client and so secure info can be viewed.
thanks for your response -
Steven
