Subject: RE: [xsl] including files From: "Dion Houston" <dionh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 9 Jul 2002 09:24:27 -0700 |
Hi Nathan: XHTML is an XML reformulation of HTML, and hence an XHTML document is an XML document. What do you mean by not having a containing element? Are you saying that the file does not have a root <html> element? If so, it sounds like your files contain XML fragments, and there's no XSLT way to load those. You certainly could do so with an extension function. Thanks!

I first thought of using entities, but these include files have to be separate files, as they will be used by 3 different applications and entities used in an XSLT have to be declared locally in that XSLT correct? Next, I thought of using document() and found from one of Jenni's excellent posts, a good way to do this. However, because the files I am including are not really XML, but xhtml (some of them do not have a containing element), I am running into problems there as well. The only other solution that I cam across is to use a Java extension function to simply dump the contents of the external files into their respective places within the XSLT, but then the complexity of the app goes up tremendously (for one of the apps, we would have a java app calling an XSLT calling a java app, which is just a pain in the arse). I guess I am looking for some advice or some words of wisdom from those who have crossed this bridge before me. I want to end up with a highly flexible, simple and elegant solution. FYI, the include files are a 1) header 2) footer 3) left-hand nav and 4) top nav TIA - Nate (I am a digester, so a cc to me with a direct reply to the list is appreciated!) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
