what I meant is something else: if you compare html+css and xml+xsl: in html-css, there is no "direction" - practically (theoretically maybe not...) they must be coupled to achieve good results- xml-xsl on the other side has a flow: first comes the xml (or rather dtd) , then you write an xsl wh

That is the well maintained MYTH of XSLT, no XSL cannot transforme XML into anything (or it is insanely painful) that is why it needs to be extended with real languages or replaced with XML-Query http://kgionline.com/articles/xsl_50_faster.jsp Ron Piterman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: the xml can b

I know I know, that's why I say good content / style separation is a *programming issue*. How do I provide templating facilities that allow me to synchronize design work and integrate with my own database connection routines and loops and such? That's a programming problem, that Tapestry resolv

I don't fully agree with you - ofcause, in theory, everyone can write good html, even java programmers ;-) but if you work with a web-designer, you can not split the work: I write the html and you do the styling with the css - they are coupled together - they don't relate to each other like xm

Is a matter of order and of knowing the technology we are working with. It's a myth that a good programmer can't be a good HTML coder (note that I say *coder*, not designer). Good separation of content / style is a programming issue, not a design one. For me, bad HTML or CSS, given the current

Well then the problem is the java programmer, not the CSS! I always wonder how one guy who is disciplined enough to do proper JDBC and transaction demarcation, or to build complex architectures, can't use HTML as it was designed to. I think people underestimate the work of a good web coder. T
