I am designing a site for a school. I searched and found the post here from
July 25, and I have also read the Dreamweaver
help file till I'm blue in the face. They talk all around the answer but never
definitively say if it's possible to do this.

Dreamweaver help mentions:

-- Workflow for performting client-side xsl transformations --
Do one of the following:
In your Dreamweaver site, create an entire XSLT page. See Creating entire XSLT
pages.
Convert an existing HTML page to an entire XSLT page. See Converting HTML
pages to XSLT pages.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------

All the online tutorials show server-side transforms but I'm not skilled in
that...nor do I know if the hosting entity will provide that level of access to
their .NET server.

---- ok. that's the background of the situation. Now to my problem. ---

We plan to have two mutually exclusive areas on the home page, such as news &
events, that will be updated by a single school employee. The plan is to create
two XML text files that one teacher can update.

The XMLfiles will be manually uploaded to the web site and the home page will
read that data into properly formatted information on the home page. I would
greatly prefer to keep the entire process as a client-side procedure.

I have created and linked XSL fragments to the XML data.
If I try to copy and paste code from the XSL fragment into the index HTML
page, I get nothing.
Success comes only after converting the home page into an XSLT 1.0 file using
Dreamweaver and copying and pasting the code fromt he XSL file into the newly
created XSLT file.

Hence my questions:
1 Can I bring these XSL fragments into an HTML home page or do I have to
convert it to XSLT?
2. If I must convert the HTML file to an XSLT file, can people still type the
website address in as www dot site dot com and the XSLT file will open without
anyone knowing the difference?
3. Can I even do this with a client-side transform?
4. Is it possible for one page to reference two separate XSL fragments
pointing to the two separate respective XML files?

Thank you very much for your help.
