Hi Jim: I only played with xml a little so this might not be much help, sorry.
OK, XML is just a text based file like html. You set up the XML file using the
tags like an html file. The sequence of tags is usually a repeating sequence so
you have a structure but sometimes that varies. Anyway, to access any part of
the xml file or any group of items in the xml file you use code to find the
exact tag or the group of tags and then extract their values into an array or
string or something to hold the value or values. There are many methods of
working with xml documents and I only used a couple of the more simple methods.
I have not used Transformation, don't even understand it since I did not use it
and therefore did not read up on it. If you just want to build an xml file to
hold data like a little database then I might be able to help by sending you my
samples that I managed to get to work in a VWD Project. It uses the Microsoft
methods of accessing the xml so if you are using something else this approach
will not work anyway. Well, sigh, sorry but I think the whole subject of xml is
way more complex than necessary but it is used allot around thw web. Let me
know what you are trying to do and I will see if it matches up at all with what
I did and will dig up my examples, I'm pretty sure I still have them floating
around.

Subject: XML and XSLT Help Please
Hi,
What do I need to do to make this work? I want to create an XML document and
use it to produce an HTML table. I want to use XSLT to transform the data in my
web browser. I may not want to use every piece of data. Example, I have 4
pieces of data in each XML record, if that's what it's called, but in a
document I may only want to show two pieces of data, but in another document, I
may want to show all four pieces of data. I hope that makes some sense.
Thanks.
Jim
