FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Terje Norderhaug; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 619-437-6721 MEDIA DESIGN IN*PROGRESS RELEASES INTERACTION 4.0 FOR MAC SAN DIEGO CA, May 2, 2002: Media Design in*Progress releases the Interaction 4.0 XML/XSL BASED WEB APPLICATION SERVER FOR MACINTOSH. The new release adds support for WebStar V on MacOSX, Mac Web Sharing, Apache and other web servers on UNIX and Windows, dramatically expanding the number of sites that can take advantage of Interaction. A 30 day trial version is available from: http://interaction.in-progress.com Interaction generates standard HTML and WAP pages from server-side XML and XSL or CSS2 style sheets. Legacy HTML documents can be used as is or enhanced with XML constructs, facilitating a smooth transition from HTML to Extensible HTML and XML. Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) is a standard from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) used to build templates and transformations for the layout of web pages. Cascading Stylesheets Level 2 (CSS2) is a W3C standard for designing the presentation style of a web page. The new release includes revised versions of the complementary Forum and Chat services, with support for themes to design of the appearance of web message boards and chat rooms. A theme is a set of XSL stylesheets or HTML templates that controls the layout and style of the pages of a service. Shipping since 1995, Interaction provides a mature, reasonably priced and easy to use Mac alternative to expensive site management and dynamic publishing systems. The application server uses XML and XSL to maintain a strict separation between content, processing and presentation, making websites more flexible, facilitating reuse and allowing a centralized consistent design of the look & feel of the pages.
