adding xml thru xsl in html file

VIdude · Feb 8, 2005

Hi,
I have an xml file with xsl behind it, and would like to call the entire thing in an html file. is this possible???
Detail:
for users' sake, I use an xml file with data of pictures (name, size, height). With the xsl, I define where to display which picture. Now, I would like to use all of this in an html file which contains all other layout stuff...
Is this possible?? I read about data-islands, but it's not working...

regards

Yes it is possible. You can transform XML with XSLT client-side:

http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/xsl_client.asp

You can also do it server-side using ASP or similar technology.

BUT, a better way to do what you want would be just to include the HTML in the XSL file and reference this in the XML:

XML:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="myxsl.xsl"?>
<mypics>
  <image>
    <src>pic.jpg</src>
    <height>200</height>
    <width>100</width>
  </image>
</mypics>

XSL:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">[/URL]
<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
  <body>
    <p>This is my page</p>
    <xsl:for-each select="mypics/image">
      <img>
        <xsl:attribute name="src">
          <xsl:value-of select="src"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:attribute name="height">
          <xsl:value-of select="height"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:attribute name="width">
          <xsl:value-of select="width"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
      </img>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
