Hi Eric, I'm not sure the normal usage of XML for <SCRIPT> is going to be a whole lot of help for you since it's primarily a client-side solution. However, you might be able to get around the "no XML parser on the server" problem by using server-side Javascript in your (what I presume) ASP pages. There shouldn't be any reason why XML for <SCRIPT> wouldn't work as a server-side parser. I assume the JavaScript engine is the same between IE and IIS. If the idea of using XML for <SCRIPT> on the server-side works for you, then you have a lot of different options - the best (IMHO) is to use the XML parser to grab whatever XML you need and then dynamically build the xhtml+css to send to the browsers. Since your work is primarily content-oriented, that will probably get you where you need to go without having to use anything truly fancy on the client's side. Does this help you out? I'd be happy to answer any more specific questions if you still need some assistance...
