Opening XML file within XSL

[saintmike2]

I have a news webpage that pulls XML data (news headlines) from a remote server and reformats it using XSL. When a user clicks on the news headline, the webpage opens the corresponding story which is also pulled from the remote server. The problem is that the story is presented in XML without any formating. I would like to format the document automatically with XSL. So the question is, is there a way to open an XML link within XSL and have it be formatted in XSL.

Thanks,

Mike

You can have a JSP or ASP page load the xml data and return the styled html

In addition to server side solutions, with IE browsers the XML can be loaded in client script as well as the XSLT file and the HTML resulting from the transformation can be inserted into the client document using element.innerHTML.

This can all be done client side assuming the MSXML.Document.load(…) can be passed a URL parameter that works.
