Link doesn't work BTW...

There has been debate over the validity of the current XSLT framework at
the W3C, which is one of the reasons Opera doesn't support it. I've
talked with a few of the Opera devs and it's unlikely they will *ever*
support it.

The best way to handle an incoming XML feed, in any case, is to parse it
with a server-side script and display the output in any form you desire.
Easy and clean. If you don't have access to a server-side scripting
environment, there are probably some javascript solutions at

Link works fine from here.... It's my fave reference site! I agree wuth
your comments BTW... my own RSS (XML) feed is spat out of the server is
different ways depending on the client reading it - the server
reprocesses the XML on the fly. I found XML really easy to work with
because of its natural 'good structure' - very easy to translate into
something else.

you have few options in this case. you can use scripting language to
retreive feeds, you can do it via xslt transformation or without it, it's up
to you, and beleive me it's pretty easy. in ASP it's few lines of code only.
If you have any WDK by arachnoWare, you can "attach" any rss/rdf/xml feed to
your site only with two lines of code in ASP. another option - you can use
some remotely allocated web based service that will transform your feed for
you and rive you back some output in format that you can "plug-in" into your
page.

Evgenios

Opera supports server-side XSLT just fine.

Of course, you *know* I meant client side.

client-side XML translations suck - all of them.

I used a PHP XML parser to get the XML content and a Smarty template
to create the HTML. Very easy to edit in my eyes...

I am at least for now using a JavaScript solution. If you would like to look
at it the tool I am using go to
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.tcpslaship.com/feeds/ext_lib/build.php." target="_blank">http://www.tcpslaship.com/feeds/ext_lib/build.php.</a>

It is a little hacked together but I intend to switch to server side once I
am comfortable with the whole thing.
