YEs - I've seen this demo'd, extracting from Oracle as XML to an XML Object in an IE5 webpage which then uses JavaScript to write XSL into a 2nd memory-resident XML object. The XSL then transforms the XML into an SMTP format which JavaScript then back to the server where it is outputted as a pager message. In actual fact, for your purposes JavaScript is overkill unless you want to display in a web page. You're better off using XSL to transform the source XML output into the appropriate format for your destination database. XSL is easier to use and less bug-ridden than JavaScript anyway. You'll need a processor to support and run XSL, which isn't easy to find. I use JavaScript myself to do this simply because it's around & works (sorta). It only requires a couple of lines of code in JavaScript to do this. There's a little demo of using XSL with JavaScript on our website at http://www.internet-etc.com/courses/xml/xsl/xslfset.htm.
