Can anyone tell me how the XML output is beefed up in v6? I specifically want to know if output from a portal can be formatted differently or if xslt transformations can be applied. (Currently I can't get our XML output from several FM portals to work in our Mac environment because I cannot transform the column-like xml portal output back into a row-like format that the portal should be viewed as.) So can FM do xslt transforms, or has any good new xslt parsers for InternetExplorer for Mac popped up?

Thanks

This can be a problem. The <col>...</col> is the field (related or not). Inside that the element <data>...</data> is repeated for each row in the portal (per related record).

The example I posted to the XSLT Library ("Hidden Portal Trick") <http://www.filemaker.com/xml/xslt_library.html> shows a few methods for reading these exports (or web pages).

My advice is to get an export from the line-items (child file/related file) rather than the parent file. It's much easier to process with a stylesheet.
