Yes, I meant XSLT. Sorry. "Engage mind before putting fingers in gear." And yes, XQuery (if you have it available) is another option. In fact, XSLT 2.0 and XQuery are in a very real sense "two different syntaxes for the same language"; they're written differently and they do have some divergence in features, but the underlying structure is close enough that it was actually possible to generate both formal specifications from a single source document. (I don't know whether that's still how they're being maintained, but it was a good technique for ensuring that the two stayed in synch with each other.) ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman, IBM Next-Generation Web Technologies: XML, XSL and more.
