RE (tilly) 2: Talk with Javascript

Have you ever tried to have XSL put out JavaScript? It puts a lot of work into validating that you are putting out valid XML which just happens to be a problem if you really want to pump out a little JavaScript as well...

Not to mention that IE (note Netscape does not support it) has a number of bugs involving XML manipulations. Joy.

You don't necessarily have to spit out the entire page in XML, just the data that you want rendered. Use an <object> tag or something to embed the data in your document, or use an ActiveX control or Java applet to do the XML rendering, and have it request the data in XML form on its own. Anyways, I was just offering that as a possible alternative for anyone else that's looking at doing something similar. It may not be useful in this case but it might be for other potentials.	[reply]
