display data island multiple times in span id

[SZANDOR]

Hello, I'm trying to use data islands (cross browser) and display a number of values from xml multiple times in my html page. I'm using the sample script that I saw on w3schools, the only problem is however that I can only use the span id only once ...Is there another way to handle this?Thanks!!Szandor

In stead of using id's use classes they can be used as many times as you like.

data islands (cross browser)

Do I have the wrong idea, or are you trying to achieve the impossible? Data Islands are not a cross browser feature scince they are not part of any (X)HTML specification, but exist only in Microsoft's one. Therefore it's only avaiable for IE.

What I'm trying to do is keep update-sensitive values (for instance tax rates that can change quite regurarly) outside my html without using asp, ... (I'm on a unix learning management system) ...that's why I'm trying so hard to get these data islands to do the trick, they're about all I have ...Thanks for your replies!!Szandor

Doens't it support XSL?
