~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. EXPLORING XML: XML for the Masses
One of the key factors hindering the adoption of XML is the lack of XML export/import capabilities in existing word processors. Can add-on tools bridge this gap? Michael Classen reports on two recent releases for Microsoft Word.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2. FEATURE: Inside XSLT: Output Methods
Though transformations to HTML are common, they are by no means the only possible output of XSLT operations. Read on, and discover how to select from among several output options from within your stylesheets. From New Riders.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3. DOC JAVASCRIPT: Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!
A common feature of most print programs is the ability to "zoom" a document in or out to a more convenient size. In part 5 of our continuing series, we learn how to add some zoom to our Internet Explorer 6 print templates. By Yehuda Shiran and Tomer Shiran.

>The (Domain) Name Game
Domain names are more important than many people realize. The investment of time, a reasonable amount of money, and a great amount of thought can provide a company with excellent branding and a leg up on the competition. http://wdvl.internet.com/Internet/DomainNames/index.html WDVL.com, Oct. 15, 2001

>Book Review: JavaScript for the World Wide Web, 4th Edition
This is the book for beginners and intermediates who are comfortable with HTML and lack the time to learn how to implement JavaScript from scratch or without resources. http://www.meryl.net/bookreviews/javascript4.php Meryl Evans, Oct. 3, 2001
>Java and XSLT - Part 3
Java and XSLT introduces XSLT and then shows you how to apply transformations in real-world situations, such as developing a discussion forum, transforming documents from one form to another, and generating content for wireless devices. This weeks installment covers Input and output. From O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. http://javaboutique.internet.com/resources/books/JavaXSLT/javaXSLT3_1.html Java Boutique, Oct. 12, 2001

>Owning the Future: Content Discontent
The new reality of the Internet and the Tasini case have spawned unrest in the fundamentally symbiotic relationship between "content" creators and distributors almost everywhere you look. http://www.techreview.com/magazine/oct01/shulman.asp MIT Technology Review, Oct. 2001
>Britney Spears Hacked into CNN.com
A morbid cultural experiment conducted by a tech-savvy prankster yielded the most hits for the eye-popping fake headline, "Singer Britney Spears Killed in Car Accident," on CNN.com over the weekend. http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article/0,,10_900811,00.html Internetnews.com, Oct. 10, 2001
