Browser specific solutions are fine. I'm not aware of anything like that. Browser support for this is very poor right now. One of the things I'd like is a reliable way to query the browser for this functionality, that is to ask the browser if it supports XSLT styling of XML to HTML (or XML to RTF, or whatever). If that was possible one would be able to transform HTML on the server side for clients that didn't support it but get the UA to do it when it was able. The problem is that the transform result tree could be any document type... that whole content-type vs actual content issue rears its head. -- Nic Ferrier http://www.tapsellferrier.co.uk XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
