Sarissa was developed to allow cross-browser support for manipulating XML files.  This is important for web pages accessing XML with JavaScript.  Firefox, IE and Safari implementations of JavaScript each handle XML files differently. Sarissa is a set of downloadable JavaScript files that standardize XML manipulation.

PHOTO GALLERY USING XML

Several popular web based photo applications (Picasa and JAlbum) have export options that can generate XML files along with photo images to create a photo album in a web page. I have created a simple implementation that uses a similar approach. Sarissa methods parse the file: sherrypicsmenu.xml for image files and thumbnail files. HTML code is inserted into the web page to display a thumbnail bar, and detail photo images.
