well, I had it ALMOST working.. jus the variable recursion stopped me.. anyhow,.. the CF HTML tree depends on just in time node presentation, not the entire tree (stateless).. I have that working just fine. but in this case, the additional view of the data cannot be done easily with the CF html tree, so I need to generate it manually.. XML tree has no UI... object is worthless(to me), so its HTML or FLASH choices. yes, I have an xml document that contains two blobs of structured, but non-xml format data that I need in XML format. I just figured XSLT would be the easiest.. wrongo.. and I needed to do this DURING the transfer process of the document. so 'transform' was the term that stuck. anyhow.. I have lots of sections working, but am trying to clean it up architecturally, performance, and maintenance wise. Of course, I may have to end up at a raw dhtml tree to get everything I want (node select boxes, cascaded select, etc).. but we'll deal with that when we get there.
