<warning type="soapbox"> Well, it depends on where your data comes from, how much you have, etc. If you are using a GUI XML editor or a content editing system that exports XML, you may be restricted to the dialect of XML the GUI produces. It may include a DTD for the XML for it's own internal validation checks. In that instance, since the document already conforms to the DTD there's no harm in using that to associate documents with a stylesheet.
In other instances you may have a large amount of data, and you don't want to change hundreds or thousands of XML files every time the name of a stylesheet changes. In either case (and many others) it may be simpler to create these document -> stylesheet associations in your httpd.conf (or .htaccess file) and just let the XML content creators worry about content, and the display creators can worry about the content display. </warning> On Tuesday 27 May 2003 04:36 pm, S Woodside wrote: > Really?
