OK, are we talking MySQL here or are you hoping I'll get deep into shopping 
baskets? File I/O, sessions, cookies and MySQL can be covered (although 
sessions and cookies not fully). It's a question of how much you've done 
already and whether others would require a more introductory content.

As for XML, I had a go with the stuff on the
site and was quite disappointed at Mozilla's rather poor effort at
displaying it.... I don't like the idea of using something IE only :-(

That's the beauty of XML - it isn't IE based because it isn't WWW based. 
AbiWord uses XML format files. XML is not HTML, it's MUCH bigger than that. 

The Mozilla output is simply because only Microsoft have implemented a 
transformational stylesheet format which, typically, isn't quite what the W3C 
have published. XML is still very new and standards are being re-written all 
the time. 

More useful are applications for the desktop that use XML for data storage of 
all kinds.
