It was a busy day for Margaret. She worked at home and had just spent all day working on a project for her new (and loaded) client, when all of a sudden her power cut out just as she was about to finish up!

There didn’t seem to be any clouds brewing in the sky, so she couldn’t figure out what had happened to make her power go out There are many things that could have caused the power to cut out, and without battery backup systems attached to your computer you are at risk of losing all of your work one day too.
For most of us, a power…

Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) is a technology closely related to XML which is used to transform XML data. XML file are used to set out the ground-rules for a given body of data and to describe the data itself. XSL allows us to take the original XML data and convert it into information which can be displayed in a web browser window or opened with a text editor. XSL can also be used to create an XML file which is a modified version of an original XML file.
When displaying elements in a browser window, the XSL elements which enable looping through an XML tree and decision-making really come into their own. One of the key methods used in XSL for looping through XML elements is the “For-each” element. This uses the “select” attribute to specify which element is to be targeted in the loop. The “For-each” element has both an…

It’s been quite some time since I started my first ever blog, and there have been many of them since my first. I’ve written about so many different things you wouldn’t believe it. Everyday topics like politics, and not so common topics like the Little Tikes kitchen. Men’s interests like sports, and women’s interests like the Kate Spade handbag.
