FWIW, it should be noted that I haven't tested my SHOWTREE-inspired Fancy XML Tree Viewer with anything but XT, so I'm sure it has the same problems. > Another change: the enumeration of child nodes no longer includes the > attached attribute nodes in the same count.

Visually, I made attribute nodes look like children. I've considered rewriting the stylesheet to address this, but due to poor web browser implementations of nested tables, I'd rather try something plain text-based, like SHOWTREE. I'd really like to create the kind of ASCII art I've posted to the list. For example, <?xml version="1.0"?> <foo xmlns="http://yournamespace" xmlns:myns="http://mynamespace"> <myns:bar baz="maz">my dog has fleas</myns:bar> <myns:bar/> </foo> would become: root |__element 'foo' from ns 'http://yournamespace' | \__expanded-name 'foo' | \__namespace 'myns'='http://mynamespace' | \__namespace 'xml'='http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace' | |__text '\n' | |__element 'bar' from ns 'http://mynamespace' | | \__expanded-name 'myns:bar' | | \__namespace 'myns'='http://mynamespace' | | \__namespace 'xml'='http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace' | | \__attribute 'baz'='maz' | | | |__text 'my dog has fleas' | |__text '\n' | |__element 'bar' | \__expanded-name 'myns:bar' | \__namespace 'myns'='http://mynamespace' | \__namespace 'xml'='http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace' | |__text '\n' I suspect, however, that the logic necessary to do this is beyond the scope of an XSL transformation. Feel free to prove me wrong, though! - Mike ___________________________________________________________ Mike J.
