We have found just that with the protocol designed by Microsoft for research services: http://www.mindjet.com/labs/Research_Accelerator.html http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/rssdk/html/rsconAboutRSSDK_HV010 82263.asp?frame=true See the response schemas here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/rssdk/html/rsxsdResponseDocs_HV0 1087693.asp?frame=true We do an XSL transformation on the client side (Query Response to XHTML or Query Response to MindManager XML) as well as on the server side (Query to response).

Would XSLT be useful in the following use case: A web application serves a user interface as a generic XML file which formally describes buttons, fields, menus, tables of data etc. but not how they should be presented. Two users both wish to use the web application but one is using a laptop computer and one is using a mobile phone with WAP or GPRS. XSLT is then used to generate two different user interfaces from the XML output of the web application, an XHTML representation and a WML representation of the same interface, each suited to its own platform. Where exactly is XSLT implemented? I see that there are implementations in server-side languages but I've also read that XSLT is built into some web browsers and Google has recently open-sourced a JavaScript implementation. Thanks for your help Ben "tola" Francis _______________________________________________ mozilla-layout-xslt mailing list [email protected] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-layout-xslt
