poormans database

[stratt]

Hello Friends,

I have an issue similar to another thread in here.

I have an xml file I'm using to list several product lines and each product line has several products underneath it. What I would like to is use the xml file as a small database and extract the names of products to create a menu in a seperate html file.

How can I get this accomplished?

Thanks,
stratt

look into XSL. you would also need to decide what's your
development platform (ie. what language you want to use?)

hey, i think i wrote that similar string... Yeh, use xsl. What I was particularly looking for was a way to match products (click on a link for say, sprinkler set 1, and it would search the xml document to match sprinkler set 1 and spit out its info in a template) Check out xml101.com tutorials for something like this. It should help

Stratt:
XML101 is where you want to go BUT:

I have been using the XML101 ASP/XML tutorials to build a database append to it... etc.
However I can't get the example in the last tutorial to work:
"Searching an XML file with XSL and ASP."

Has anyone else used this tutorial and got it to work?
I have a feeling I am missing something obvious.

Cheers
Dan
