RE: [xsl] Client-side XSLT

But could you not put an ixsl:onclick mode on a template elsewhere in the
stylesheet:
<xsl:template match="a[@href]" mode="ixsl:onclick">
Then inside that template disable the default behaviour of the href:
<xsl:variable name="event" select="ixsl:event()"/><xsl:sequence
select="ixsl:call($event, 'preventDefault')"/>
Then finally replace / append your destination image to the source using a
result-document command:
<xsl:result-document href="#IDFORIMAGEGOESHERE" method="ixsl:append-content">
This way you're not generating multiple pages containing the image from
scratch, rather, you're embedding the content you want to get to within an
existing 'template' html page, when it is requested.
