Yeah, the book is great. I got it on your recommendation, from one of the threads hear that I was Lurking on. The only problem is this stuff is changing so much I'm having problems finding how to use XML-XSL. I think I understand the idea of the parser. You give it your XML file, then the XSL file and it puts the two together as a standard HTML file. That is if you don't have any screw ups in the two files.

I have been all over the XML site at MS and am either Blind or Stupid, because I can't find or figure out how to get IE5 to put my two file together. Am I wrong in assuming that it should? The book gives the impression that if the files are named the same, foo.xml and foo.xsl, then it should use them. NOT.
Beyond that I know that this is not the best way to really use this because I would at some point need to be able to use an XSL file against many XML files, so even if the name thing did work I need to figure out how to tell the Browser what xsl file to use with what xml file.

I'm not trying anything fancy here, just the first sample in the book.

I think I'm lost here....
