XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Mustard, Sandy" <mustard AT ugs.com>]

Why not let XOM create the XML and then pass it to an XSLT transform to
generate your HTML.  Put you javascipt in the XSL file.

Elliotte, I think you are really a smart guy and you have created a 
totally cool tool. I respect you for that and I give praise where praise

is due.
On the other hand, please also try to see it the way of  those poor 
bastards like me who have multiple tasks to perform in their everyday 
job but so little time for details. I need to build a small 
proof-of-concept prototype, which implies the need to inject a tiny bit 
of client-side scripting into my page. I am just a tiny step away from 
the goal: turning &lt; into '<'.
That's how JavaScript has worked for years before XML and how all 
browser still understand it.
How many books should I study before I can achieve that? do I need to go

back to the university?

RegExps are not powerful enough to parse XML/HTML. You are right about
that,
but, once I switch to XML, there must be an easier way than this to take

care of
details, don't you think?

Thank you

Luca
