• Check out the rest of this developerWorks tutorial series on XSLT for more information on advanced uses for XSL transformations:
  • "Analyze non-XML data with XSLT" (December 2003)
  • "XSLT as an analysis tool" (February 2004)
  • "Create 3D representations with XSLT and SVG" (April 2004)
  • "Tie in data with Web services and XSL Transformations" (August 2004)
  
  
• Don't know XSLT? Better try Nicholas Chase's tutorial on beginning XSLT (developerWorks, March 2003).
  
  
• Read the XPath Recommendation at the W3C for a complete look at its capabilities (http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath).
  
  
• For a good, basic JavaScript tutorial, go to: http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp.
  
  
• Find the W3C official documentation on the Document Object Model (DOM) at http://www.w3.org/DOM/.
  
  
• If you're adventurous, and want to try to port this application to Mozilla, check out the Mozilla DOM Reference (http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/). The nice thing about Mozilla is that it uses the standard DOM, and doesn't cheat by adding all kinds of nasty, proprietary methods.
  
  
• To get a high-level feel for exactly how powerful XSLT can be from a functional programming perspective, check out FXSL (http://fxsl.sourceforge.net).
  
  
• Learn how XSL transformations can be used with WebSphere Application Server in "XSL Transform Basics with WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0x" by Joel Sundman (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/techjournal/0204_sundman/sundman.html) (developerWorks, April 2002).
  
  
• Find more XML resources on the developerWorks XML zone.
  
  
• Browse for books on these and other technical topics.
  
  
• Finally, find out how you can become an IBM Certified Developer in XML and related technologies.

• Get a free word processing and office suite from www.openoffice.org that is as powerful as the MS Office suite, then use that to create XML documents rom your word processing files (http://www.openoffice.org/).
