XML page displays raw code in browser 4

Terpsfan · Apr 8, 2001

I've created some xml pages and inserted them in my

folder, however they come up as raw code in the browser. I was under the impression that IE5 supported XML. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. Apparently the server isn't processing the xml code. Thanks

Hi there,

Raw code huh? I know what you mean. XML will not be display like that. You have to parse that with a parser blahblahblah etc.

What you need to do is make a sheet. You can choose CSS or XSL. You're lucky because IE5 supports XSL. If you're doing well you have:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<yourtag>info</yourtag>

But you have to chage it into:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css" ?>
<yourtag>info</yourtag>

Your stylesheet.css has the tags like
.yourtag {color: green}

Or you can use XSL:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="stylesheet.xsl"?>
<yourtag>info</yourtag>

Your stylesheet.xsl looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="

http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">

<xsl:template match="/">
<html><h1>
<xsl:value-of select="yourtag"/>
</h1></html>
</xsl:template>

If you want to know more, I would say: Read a tutorial!

I hope I have answered your question and I appriciate if I would be rated:
