I am working on an app that inside one frame fetches a url which returns raw xml or extracts raw xml out of a document using microsofts <xml> tag. Sometimes the xml is transformed by an XSLT stylesheet, sometimes it is traversed via the DOM. Other times the display css property of elements are changed, or they are "moved" by removeChild() and appendChild() so they are displayed differently in the browser window.
When forms are submitted, rather than sending CGI parameters, some javascript extracts the form's input field names and values and formats them in xml. The javascript then submits the xml document to an apache mod_perl server that has some web services exposed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
