xml-dev - RE:   problem

[Anthony Channing <AnthonyC@101Ltd.com>]

Thanks to everyone who answered my query,  for
now I'm using the   code, which works, but
oddly reveals nothing when I view source in the
browser.  Very strange.

I have saved references to the other more detailed
answers and the link to the XSL FAQ which looks
like it might come in very useful in various situations.
Thanks.

Anton
