4/18/2008 Steve Conger Css with XML XML elements can be displayed with CSS Stylesheets but CSS has significant limitations with xml. Some of these limits are: You cannot add text to the document or the display the element names You cannot rearrange the display You cannot display the content of attributes easily Perhaps one of the greatest weakenesses of using CSS is that it cannot handle namespaces. If a document has a namespace you will not be able to display it in CSS. CSS3--a standard which is still under discussion--includes the ability to define and recognize namespaces All things considered. It is much better to use XSLT in conjunction with CSS to display raw xml, rather than to use CSS alone.
