I found an example of what I initially meant about using html with xml
in .NET at http://www.xmlforasp.net/codeSection.aspx?csID=50 It uses
xml data and html on the same page. This is an example of the grid
which does almost all the programming for you. That's why I suggested
looking at the repeater control instead of the grid because there you do
more of your own coding and I'm pretty sure I saw a simple CSS example
someplace. But I can't find a good example right now on the web to show
you.

I'm surprised because to adequately style "raw" XML with CSS, you'll
need really good CSS support in the browser. And this is something where
Internet Explorer is really weak compared to Mozilla.

OK, you'd *still* use CSS to *style* the HTML display. But did you ever
try to format XML as a table just using CSS with Internet Explorer?

You seem to talk about combining "raw" XML with HTML elements. I fail to
see how .NET would make that easier or harder -- in the end, it's just a
runtime environment and some standard classes for XML manipulation. Am I
missing something?
