@JeremyMorganDotCom what editor is that ??

[JeremyMorganDotCom]

@mollymasta It's Notepad ++ using the VIM dark Blue Style. Google Notepad++ download (it's free) install it, then select Settings->Style Configurator-> "Vim Dark Blue"

Wow that's odd. When I saw the first few seconds, I imediately noticed how extra nice that editor is. And apperantly at least two other people thought the same...

Oooh, one more question :) do all modern browsers support xsl? Cheers mate

[Grenville84]

Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate this. I've been developing with .net, xml, css + html etc for years and had never even seen this before (although I have heard the acronym every now and again), thought it was about time I checked it out. So, do people style whole pages using an xml document? Say for example a blog's RSS feed - would there normally be a way to specify the xml-stylesheet within the feed? Thanks again.
