RE: how to change xsl dynamically?

---

---

Hi,
	well, i had a brief view to microsoft's page...unfortunately i don't
have IE 5.0...but if you want to have different view of the same file using
different XSL files i would assume that you call the XSL processor with the
same xml and different xsl....i think this doesn't involve reloading xml,
but simply give to the xsl processor the same xml file and different xsl
files...the xsl processor needs an xml file to transform, and if you want to
view two different transformation of the same file you should give to the
processor the xml file two times....that is what i know so far, but i am not
an expert since it's only one-two months that i am on the subject...but
anyway i  am giving you my opinion...expert are welcome
