As far as i am aware (if i understand you correctly) substituting string data for new string data from a database should be relatively simple (in theory). Just traverse the DOM tree searching for any text elements these elements text can then be altered.
I dont know exactly how you would do it but it should not be too difficult. ----- Original Message ----- From: "steve stout" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 10:43 PM Subject: Can Batik do this? > > > I'm just starting to mess around with Batik and so far things look good > for what I want to do.
