Subject: Trying to get a handle on XML/XSL From: Leavell Jody L <Jody.Leavell@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 15 Jul 1998 18:11:43 -0500 |
>From reading the digest for this list I can tell there are some very technically literate contributors. I truly wish I were, yet I am struggling to learn XML from a developers point of view. So now for some questions: 1) Has anyone come up with an XML application demo that runs on Win32 and Linux platforms and does not utilize any Microsoft components? 2) What about utilizing/creating an object repository or widget library that includes an HTML flow object as a descendant? 3) If question 2 were possible could the nature of the style sheet be merely instructive on how to set the "style" properties for a particular flow object? My thoughts were that someone like Claris FileMakerPro, or JetForms, or whatever ultra-easy application toolset could be used to drag and drop objects onto screen forms that display XML content. I know that FileMaker Pro makes it very easy for users to create interfaces to databases with some customization of how to interact with the interface. Wouldn't the combination of XML/XSL allow such users to plug their components into document/stylesheet sets as the data stream and utilize the development tools existing "programming" or "scripting" features for automation? Right now I can't wait to get my hands on some easier-to-use development tools that would allow me to experiment with XML. So far there really isn't a way or a tool to bind content to a real-life demonstration of XML. I have heard that CSS2 can be used with XML aware browsers to render HTML flow objects of an XML document but I don't know where to begin on that even. I have seen links to demo's but they are usually someone else's idea of an XML application. Too, they are usually black-boxed to amateurs like myself. Jody Leavell jody.leavell@xxxxxxxxxxxx C.H.I.S.
