By creating an xml file with a table format you can also use javascript and
the dom to get xml out to the document if it's an option.
HTH, D!J!X!

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.

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
