[quote]Question: Is XML(XSLT and XPath) reduce server side scripting task?[/quote] I have been studying XML for a month at tech. XML seperate Data and Structure. So I can show data island in my web site. It is great thing, isn't it? I am using XML file as my database file. Using XSLT and Xpath to convert XML into XHTML. Then show the data just like using server side scripting stuff. Just now I finished tutorial on the web, which tell me how to sort data. Unfortunately IE5 doesn't support those beautiful things. Now I am just wondering if browser supports XML well, then people can cut a lot of hard work of server side scripting to connect database, right? What do you think of this? Please give me your opinion! Many thanks. Oh, and this one as well! A lot of site said: [quote]XSLT is much more powerful than CSS[/quote] But I cannot get this meaning. XSLT is just transforming XML into XHTML, isn't it? After that we have to creat CSS to link with! So I think they are quite different thing?! Can you explain this for me?
