newbie: xslt help!

hi, i dug around and found that there is something called XSLT and that there are things like coccon etc in java from apache group, and php's own parser (sablotron?) that i can use to transform xml into javascript and html. my problem is that i need to create a xslt parser that i can use both in java and jsp based implementations as well as php based ones. so most likely i should use something that is supported on both platforms. my questions: 1. which parser should i use to achieve this? i would really appreciate any ideas. 2. are there any examples of doing this? i mean converting an xml file into html and javascript at runtime? so that i have just one php script that reads the xml files and draws my pages on my website. 3. does anyone know why php.net chose sablotron for their xslt functions? i am interested in just the reasons that i can bounce off as well. thanks in advance/erick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
