Unless you have some very complex, varied, or large xml documents, you may want to simply convert your xml into a CF datatype (a structure) and get a lot more flexibility as far as your design goes. SOXML can do this. If this is going to be running on a CF platform, why not use it? Either that, or if you are doing DOM parsing, use the XML DOM object to choose which parts to display as John suggested.
CSS and XSL really tackle two different problems. XSL is used to transform the particular XML doc into something else, using various bits of logic. CSS is just CSS, it's just has to do with the display of elements, just as when you style html elements. CSS has no way to do any kind of testing on the element (other than IE's css expressions...), XSL does. The two technologies complement each other. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Saturday, August 10, 2002, 3:47:23 PM, you wrote: TW> ok , got that, that made/makes sense...i had sorta figgered that TW> out, when i had already hit "Send"...so then, dave, whats ur take TW> on using css-2 to format that xml doc, into html? or would you use xsl TW> to transform the xml to html?
