I can't speak to XML::DOM, but I used XMLC in Java to do this and there were aspects that were pretty nifty. In particular, building a list-type structure (table rows in particular) and then feeding it to a visitor process that modified the properites of each item worked really well. XMLC works by compiling an XML document to a Java class which you then manipulate. This was excellent for working with designers, since they didn't have code or looping structures or anything cluttering up the HTML. Just some ID tags the coders told them to use. IIRC, building things from scratch was a PITA. But that could have been my lack of experience with it too :-) Chris -- Chris Winters ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Building enterprise-capable snack solutions since 1988.
