I'm new to XML and from what I understand, there seems to be some problems regarding cross browser support for data islands. Bascially i'm looking to use data island in a html page to store various inputs into a standard table. I recently read Nigel McFarlane's article "making data islands work in all browsers" However I noticed that the xml data used in his tutorial was still keep within the html document. I was wondering if you could use the methods he discussed in this article and keep the xml as a external document? If anyone has any information on this subject or if they could point me in the right direction they really be doing me a solid. take it easy
