probably my own stupidity or ignorance at the time, but it was very easy to show elements that were their own "tag pairs" versus attributes of a single tag.
why, I forget :( sorry, but maybe someone could show us the difference. of how, in xslt you would reference the data in the one versus the other, maybe it was just my own ignorance, but for some reason, most of the xml that I have ever seen has been tag-pairs, versus attributes of one tag. sorry I don't know why, it was like 8 months ago.... tony weeg uncertified advanced cold fusion developer tony at navtrak dot net www.navtrak.net office 410.548.2337 fax 410.860.2337 -----Original Message----- From: Brad Roberts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 3:46 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: XML Best Practices - Resources Can you elaborate on why?
