XML + Image

[Guest_imported]

Hi

I'm a newbie to XML and just want to know hoe to imclude an image in my XML document and display it using XSL Style sheet. I know this is probably a really stupid question but I've no idea.

Thanks

Rachael

Did you want to include the actual binary image data in your xml shet or just a filename/path?

I'd recommend you go with Tarwn's idea. Store some identifier or even the filename (if you're only using the XML document locally) and have the XSL create a link. That's what's usually done around here when generating HTML pages.

Well, I acutally forgot the part where I was going to suggest file paths, but thanks for seeing what I was thinking and forgot to write ------------ My Little Dictionary ---------

I have a question of similar nature, but my involves stored procedure using FOR XML to creat the XML and using XSL to transform the XML data. But my problem is that XML source does not contain an image element. How I do display a filename image in XSL.

Here is part of my code in XSL:
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test=&quot;not($verify='0')&quot;>
<td align=&quot;center&quot;><font class=&quot;green&quot;>verify</font></td>
</xsl:when>
<xsltherwise>
<td>0</td>
</xsltherwise>
</xsl:choose>

I want to replace the <font class=&quot;green&quot;>*</font> with an image instead.

I tried replacing it with <img src=&quot;images/test/image.gif&quot;>. It gave me an error:
&quot;Unable to Load XSL File!XSLTransform&quot;

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Try:

<img src=&quot;images/test/image.gif&quot; />

All tags must close.

In your XML file, you could use something like:

<picture location=&quot;/path/file.jpg&quot;/>


To display this using XSL, you could use:

<IMG BORDER=&quot;0&quot;><xsl:attribute name=&quot;src&quot;><xsl:value-of select=&quot;./picture/@location&quot;/></xsl:attribute></IMG>



of course you can add extra attributes to the XSL either directly or as attributes in the XML
