Announcement: The XPath Visualiser

---

---

The XPath Visualiser is an interactive tool that hilights all nodes 
of a user-specified XPath expression's result-nodeset in a colour-coded

collapsible display of an xml source document. 

This tool is very convenient for anyone who is a stylesheet author, 
is interested to learn or just curious about building XPath
expressions. 

The XPath Visualiser can be used in different scenarios:
 1. Composing the exact XPath expression when designing an XSLT
stylesheet. 
 2. As a "nodeset view" in a watch window of an XSLT debugger. 
 3. Learning and playing with XPath expressions. 
 4. As an example how to process completely un-anticipated XML
documents using "push processing". 


The latest version of the XPath Visualiser can be downloaded at 
http://www.vbxml.com/files/downloads/XPathVisualiserSeptember.zip

Requirements: 
  The September release of MSXML 3.0 and IE 5.

The following works with earlier releases of MSXML 3.0, 
but has relatively limited functionality:

Many thanks to Mike Kay -- this work was extremely influenced 
by the continuous help provided in all his answers to my questions.

Also thanks to Johnatan Marsh -- a customised version of his IE
defaultss.xsl stylesheet is the basis for this work. 
Any errors in the customised stylesheet are entirely mine.

I'd greatly appreciate any observations, remarks and suggestions 
for improvement of the functionality and efficiency of the tool.

Thanking you in advance,

Dimitre Novatchev.
