Re: XML Data Islands, XML Menu Trees and other stuff

Wow, that looks great :)

In the meantime i've been playing with the XmlHttpRequest and it really works
on
IE and FF, at least. So it seems it's not dificult to get the XML files
without
a all trip to the server.

Now for XSLTing the XML i think i'll wait for your example...

Thanks a lot.
