how to render / display a XML file in browser

[vijjay]

I am trying to render / display a XML document (it contains data) into web browser (this whole thing is using DTD, XML, CSS, XHTML) and I am using external CSS file for formatting; I have 2 problems and I need help, if someone can figure out how:

A. I am using list item and one list item has multiple lines, when it displays in browser, it put bullet in last line (see list 2 below) instead of first line (see list 2 below), it looks like this:


[ul][li]List Item 1: textttttttttttttttttttttttttttt item 2[/li][/ul]

List Item 2: ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

[ul][li]ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.[/li][/ul]


[ul][li]List Item 3: texttttttttttttttttttttttttttt[/li][/ul]


Any idea how to put bullet in first line of multiple lines list item

B. How to make XML tag / text Hyperlink through external CSS file and my XML tags names are: <email href=….>, <picture href=….>, <otherlinks> NOT like <a>
Any idea how to make XML tags a hyperlink using external CSS file

Thanks all whoever will read and response with any solution.

I'm not sure, but that list item thing may be a bug. Which browser are you using? If I were you I'd use XSL to transform the XML into XHTML, then you can make links, lists, etc, like normal. Here's a good tutorial with examples:

Hi vijjay, although I'm loathe to encourage you to post this question yet again ( thread215-604668 , thread215-604660 , thread215-588720 ) I would imagine you might get more assistance if you:

a) posted your XML questions to the XML forum: forum426 , and
b) posted some of your code so we can work out what it is you are doing wrong.
