HF_JBB: Welcome. I'm not sure what NS6's capabilities are here (MS were ahead of the game though). The only real way you can be sure of how an XML file will display in a browser is if you process it server-side first.

Neither of those pages will render in Netscape6+/Mozilla. Neither will Opera for that matter.

You can render pure XML in Mozilla but you'll need style and transformers to get it to work correctly.

Emperor is right though, the easiest option would be to process the XML server side and get it to spit out HTML to a browser. This way you can also make it compatabul for not so up to date browsers.

i haven't done anything via server-side before ;/

i've been using a IE property for linking my xml file (with the <xml> tag), that's the reason why it doesn't work with other browsers.

the way to do it, is to link is via the DOM script : document.prototype.load() ... but i'm still having problems... i can make it work with netscape now, but i can't get it to work with IE now

i got some reading to do at www.w3c.org

i think i got it to work for IE and Netscape (doesn't work for opera)

i see why it would be easier to do this via server side.

HF_JBB: Its a matter of using the right tool for the job really and you might be better off using a database. Parsing XML server-side isn't rocket science but their might be a neater solution to the problem.
