Hi all -
Run into an interesting problem which I hope somebody might have a few
ideas about. I don't remember anything like this being discussed or
documented. I'll be checking the wapforum and related sites in the meantime.
I am planning to transform some existing content into WML (wireless markup)
from a sequential XML source using XSLT (rather than DOM). The WML browser
targets have limitations on the size of content which can be delivered,
about 1500-1800 bytes uncompressed.
I would like to retain the simplicity of doing this transformation using an
XSL stylesheet. However, I am not aware of any functions which can
determine the output result size, in bytes, of a set of nodes. This is not
a question about counting the input bytes, rather I want to determine if I
can count the number of bytes in a result set as it is transformed.
I envisage using a simple for-each loop, and checking before each iteration
if the result size exceeds the limiting value I put into a param in the
stylesheet. If the result size is within a certain range of the limit, I
would close the WML 'deck' and exit the stylesheet.
So - has anybody got a good idea how I could do this ?
Thanks in advance -
Regards - Neil Smith.
