> A colleague of mine has written an excellent paper describing a new way > of looking at creating XSLT documents. This is just what some people call the "pull" method. In fact XSLT has a mechanism which is specifically there to make it act more like the ASP type of templating language that you mention. Having simplified your stylesheet down to to a single match="/" template into which you "pull" the data, you can go the next step and miss out the surrounding xsl:stylesheet and xsl:template elements and just start off with (typically) the html element. You just need to have an xsl:version attribute in the xsl namespace. So your example would be <HTML xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <HEAD> <TITLE>Welcome</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <FONT bgcolor="{member/favoriteColor}"> Welcome <xsl:value-of select="member/name"/>! </FONT> ... </HTML> No need for xsl:stylesheet.
