But for the start, a tutorial might be enough. 2) XML Names - a must. But still, for the start, a tutorial might be enough. 3) XML Schema - not a must. May be totally skipped in the beginning. 4) XPath Data Model - of course, a must 5) XPath - a must 6) XPath/XQuery functions and operators - XQuery... who needs XQuery when is implementing XSLT? 5) XSLT - also a must 6) XSLT/XQuery serialization - this has nothing to do with XPath 1.0/XSLT 1.0. In fact, parts of it are included in XSLT 1.0 spec ===== Marian http://www.utdallas.edu/~mgo031000/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Send holiday email and support a worthy cause.
