There is another method you could use.  That is to bring in the XML, using 
AJAX, and put it into a 'Data Island'.  Then XSL is used to parse the XML in 
the web page.

Ok, now I'm confused.

Let's say you have a webpage using AJAX.  There is a button
that you click that says "display order history".

When it's clicked, an AJAX CGI app is run and fills the div
or span with the order history list.

The data returned from the CGI app is HTML or XML?  Because
it's created dynamically, FrontPage really wouldn't play a
part.  IF it's XML, it would have to be converted to HTML.


I don't think we are on the same page.  :)  But maybe...
