Re: Problem with intersect

Hi,
Thank you very much for your reply. I've been trying since this morning to 
access the Basic Query Interface page on http://exist.sourceforge.net/ and its 
been saying page cannot be displayed. Any idea what the problem is and when it 
will be fixed? I am using IE6.0 on Windows XP machine. Hope its not a browser 
problem...
Thanks,
Saritha
