RE: Advice on a web site using XML and XSL

Thanks for your reply Craig -

you systems sounds pretty interesting. I am also planning on using quite a
bit of client side stuff.
On the server, I plan to use ASP and COM, which is what I expect is pretty
similar to what you did yourselves.

All very exciting, but millions of things to think of....

thanks again,
steven
