I don't suppose there are any XSL gurus about who could help me with a problem?
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Not a guru, but I'll give it a shot.

Actually, I got it to work by using '<xsl:choose>' instead of '<xsl:if'. I have no idea why the 'if' didn't work, but I'm under a time constraint so I'm just happy it's working.
Thanks anyway, Tom.

wanting a 250GB to 300GB external HD for keeping all my vids, etc...have done research and now i just feel like banging my head against the wall. *sigh*
the one that comes up all the time in reviews is the Maxtor one touch, but there are bad reviews that mention losing all data or simply stopping working after the 1yr warrenty. the others have crappy backup/software programs.
the "newer" Maxtor II one touch is supposed to be better, but i am not sure how long it has been out, therefore, no user reviews on performance. *sigh*
any suggestions?

Buy a regular hard drive and a drive enclosure to put it in.

Or this if you're using FireWire: [link]
Add in a hard drive and you're good to go.

I own 5 or 6 of these drives in various sizes. I love them and have had great luck with this company.

I've owned a Maxtor 5000XT (250 GB) for about 1.5 years and haven't had any trouble with it at all. I just do simple file copying from my laptop to the external, though, so I haven't put it through the paces of performing backups and the like.

so you have not done a big backup? i had read that the software was stupid...okay they didnt say stupid but i am translating. *g* it did not get good reviews at PCMag. i know you told me about this HD before, but i have been really doing research. maybe too much research...
i just dont want to lose my files.
i want the best of it all. i want easy/good software for the backups and i want a HD that will not die on me.
have almost decided on the Iomega HD b/c the software is the higher rated one out of the ones they reviewed. dont care that it cant stand on its side but has to be flat. whatever. space on the stand is not an issue. not sure that i NEED a super fast one either.
gah! i just wish it was easier to decide...thanks Hiddensky for adding your thoughts, again on this.
so you just copy the file/s one at a time? or what? i guess i wouldnt have to do a complete backup if all i am doing is saving my vid files. hmmm...thinking.
