Hi John,
Could you please tell me which software
are you using to run your project?
For example, browser, xsl/xml editor, an API.
My question is that if a browser can on the fly
load a page that is generated by xsl transformation...
Your particular question is of my interest.
You see, I am a newbie....
Thanks a lot
Carlos
