learn to modernize your UI incrementally using open source, client-side libraries. In this installment,
you learn to eliminate pop-up windows and navigational dead ends using simple lightbox and tooltip
techniques. You learn to do so using the principle of progressive enhancement, guaranteeing that

produce a VoiceXML document that contains the exact information you need. In
this tutorial, you see how to employ XQuery with XML documents to build complex
and dynamic systems that take input and information from a VoiceXML environment
and combine them with existing XML documents to produce interactive applications.
