Hi,

This bit is just concerned with fact that if your asp creates a page that=20
has links to other asps on your site, that also generate XML, then you=20
cannot simply have

<a href=3D"myasp=2Easp">xxxxxxxxx</a>

as then the XSL control will not get an opportunity to process it=2E Theref=
or=20
any links that an asp page generates will have to make a call to the active=
X=20
control=2E

hence

<!-- this link was generated by a call to a previous asp page -->
<a href=3D"javascript:top=2EXSLControl=2EdocumentURL =3D myasp=2Easp">xxx</=
a>

The idea of processing on the server was just a suggestion and personally I=
=20
would not do this as you have then lost the structure that XML provides=2E=20
The IE5=2E0 DOM is more generic that ie4=2E0 and will provide better acces=
s to=20
the document structure=2E
