sax is generally used when you are dealing with very large xml documents that you don't want to load in to memory. It's a pain to work with and you should stay away from it unless you really need it. I suggest trying elementtree http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm to get your data into some sort of nested list/dict stucture. print that structure in your view code to make sure it works, then put that stucture in your template context. Do your <br/> stuff with the {% for %} tag in your template. Assembling an html string in your view probably isn't the best way to go about it. That's what the template system is for :) Joseph --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
