Hi,
I have a question regd the XSLT technology,is the xml rendering considered a server side technology or a Client side...I know it sounds very silly but I want to make sure I know the right thing as I see most of the processing is done in the Stylesheet by passing the xml file...

Please clarify!
Thanks in Advance!!

XSL transformation can be done in either side. Most often, it is performed on the server-side but can also be left to the browser.

Well, let's say you have a web site you've written using Java technologies such as Servlets and JavaServer Pages. The server-side is a web container running that Java code, and the client-side is a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla.
If the XSL transformation is made on the server-side, the client (web browser) receives a HTML document because the transformation from XML to HTML was made before sending the outcome over the network.
If the XSL transformation is made on the client-side, the client (web browser) receives an XML document which refers to an XSL document and has to perform the transformation himself.
