Martin

Thanks very much.

I appreciate the information.

I am merely attempting to get something as compliance as possible than
works on IE, Firefox, Opera, and Safari.

So far I have something that works in IE6 and IE7, Firefox 2, and
Opera 9, and Apollo Scout which uses Webkit so hopefully it will work
on Safari 3 when it is released.

Hopefully in a few more years all the major browsers will support XSLT
2.0 and XHTML 2.0 so something this easy can be done without any need
for javascript and DOM.

However I am very glad that Opera and Safari are finally coming on
board the XSLT band wagon.

To my way of thinking declarative is much more straight forward that
imperative.

Thanks again
