It's good introduction to XML and related stuff. It ends with a big discussion on using XML for ecommerce transactions. It doesn't go really deep into the technical details of XML but as an application programmer you don't really need to. If I need more info on XML details I would just go to the original sources. > Any way I was trying to say to the person who > originally posted the question that maybe its not worth you learning XML for > what you are doing (if it is a simple task)...

I think that if you're a professional programmer (or want to become one) then I do recommend that you learn XML. XML skills are only going to become more important/wanted. -- Simon Edwards Animated Design, Melbourne http://www.animated.net.au/ Ph: (03) 98850990
