More Dynamic Web | February 28, 2005

More on dynamic web apps: I've started playing around with Firefox's built in XSLT engine and Sarissa, which - yet again - I found through O'Reilly Network. Sarissa is a nice wrapper which abstracts the dirty details of cross-browser coding and lets you get on with what you actually want to do ("only" Mozilla and IE are currently supported though). You can see my first simplistic experimentation with the code here (and if someone can tell me why this isn't working cleanly in IE, please drop me a line). This page demonstrates the use of the XMLHttpRequest object to pull in a chunk of XML, dynamically transform it into XHTML and inject it into the page using DOM.
Jon Udell has also been writing about all this new-fangled stuff...
