Well all I really want to be able to do is have my webpage show the information from the XML file, so all I have to update is the news in the XML!
But the basics first in getting the info from the XML into a styled webpage, I take it XSL is the way forward then?

>I heard there is a proble with data islands in firefox
What have you heard? and what have you done sofar?
The problem is we do/can not answer a question as big and as hollow. Or maybe you are so advanced that we are not able to answer...
Good or bad, data island,... everything has a reason to exist.

The problem I fou nd with data islands is that they dont display in firefox, whereas the exact same page displays in IE. I was doing a tutorial which is here:
I am competent in Lingo, Actionscript, HTML, CSS, and understand the basics of XML.

I suggest you try doing it with XSL. Its not v complicated and I'm sure you'll be able to pick it up easy.
Basically, in an XSL stylesheet, you define rules (templates) about how you want the XML to be transformed. In your case, you'd want to transform it to HTML.
You need to learn how to make the stylesheet and also a bit of code to actually do the transformation. You have a couple of options:
Client-side with javascript or Server-side with ASP
If you post your XML, I can give you an example stylesheet.
