RE: XSL vs. XSLT, different syntax?


This is explained in the documentation
mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Microsoft%20XML%20Parser%20SDK\Docs\xmlsdk3
0.chm::/htm/xmrefmsxslscriptelement.htm

or look at "script element" in the index.
but what you are wanting to do can be done in xslt without resorting to
script
it is in the FAQ somewhere and there is a demo in my tutorial section.
