yes XSLT is used to map one set of XML to another set of XML, thats what the transform is all about. ive only been working with it for a while so im not that good yet, but what i do is build up XML data in PHP; that XML maps to points in an xsl file. then i use the PHP XSLT functions <http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xslt.php> to render XHTML by combining the XML data and the xsl file. the XHTML is what gets sent to the browser via echo. you can use tools in PHP like SimpleXML and DOM to build up an XML document. i can send you a sample if youd like. also, if you want to separate javascript from PHP and XHTML thats really a different issue. in order to do that you need to link in javascript externally via the <script> tag instead of using inline scripts. you may want to look at some frameworks like prototype <http://www.prototypejs.org/>, scriptaculous <http://script.aculo.us/> and jquery <http://jquery.com/>. but that is another universe altogether. -nathan On 7/7/07, Kelvin Park < kelvinpark86@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Can XSLT be used to separate CSS/XHTML/PHP/AJAX completely? Do you use XSLT with XHTML on a same file? It seems like XSLT is derived from XML.
