I found another demo that uses AJAX to do the same thing as the VBScript.

http://www.xmlfiles.com/xsl/xsl_client.asp

Unfortunately I also found out that the reason it still does not load in
firefox is because AJAX requires ActiveX, another proprietary Microsoft
thing.

So I am beat basically. I am sure there must be some Linux implementations
of AJAX out there? Need to google some more.....

I thought it was but didnt want to say anything,  like I said I'm no
genius when it comes to programming, I litterally copied and pasted most of
the code to get it working initially.

However, I'd recommend finding tutorials that use JavaScript instead.

I will have to look into JavaSript then to see it that will do it, I dont
really want to be running ASP or anything that requires server extensions,
just a flat file structure will do fine, so I can run it off my usb key or
something, regardless the OS I am using.
