   RE: [xml-dev] XSLT vs. CSS (Re: Indexing)

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

An excellent example.  Thanks Frank!

Microsofties listen up:  the market will begin to notice 
that IE isn't keeping up with its competitors, and market 
share will begin to slip because regardless of what one 
knows about architecture, the perception of the web is 
still that it is browsable.  Risk!  Other browser vendors, note: 
Microsoft isn't keeping up.  Opportunity!  Authors
take note:  a better looking page is a better looking page 
and a cheaper better looking page is a profitable page. 
Opportunity!

So glad not to be in the browser business where I was 
six years ago.

How about _should_ solve different problems. I hesitate to speak for
Simon, let alone web developers that I really don't know, but I find it
an expensive pain in the rear to have another step in my pipeline doing

<xsl:template match='section'>
	<h2>SECTION
	<xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
	...

merely because

section:before {
content:	"SECTION " counter(secnum) " " ;
}

doesn't work
