[XML4Lib] server-side XML and XSLT

[Pierre Nault]

Hello,

   I'm working on a project that consist on publishing, in HTML, research
guides of my colleagues librarians. The main documents are in XML : we use
XSLT stylesheets to transform it in HTML. The transformations are done on
the client-side... with some mitigated results : browsers are not consistent
with the way they deal with XSLT-CSS-Javascript and XML. Now i'm starting to
think that we should do the transformations on the server-side : that way we
just serve pure html to the client.
I'm sorry for this naive question but, what do I need to do that sort of
work on the server-side. A year ago I used Saxon on command-line to deal
with MARCXML and FRBR but that's it : I'm a real beginner in the XML
technologies... Here we have a Window 2003 server with no database for our
web site. Do I need a database to store the xml files ? Do I have to install
an XSLT processor on the server ?...

Thanks
Pierre Nault
