Subject: [xsl] Building/transforming XML on server from DB column with mixed content From: "Doug Howell" <doug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2001 10:37:29 -0500 |
Hi, everybody, I have a glossary.xml file which I've been parsing and transforming on the IE 5 client. Now, for a test, I'm implementing it via an ASP page, parsing and transforming on the server, and storing the glossary in an Access database. I'm building a DOM, transforming it, then including the string result into the document. I've got the mechanics of it working, but I've run into a problem. If one of you could steer me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it. I'm storing several of the XML elements in their own columns in the Access DB ("term," etc.). The trouble is that the "definition" element has child elements which I'm not breaking out into their own columns. In other words, the Definition field in my DB has child elements (such as "<em>," "<uri>," etc.) within it, as well as entity references. This means that when I create a "definition" element from the Definition field, the embedded child elements and entity references are not parsed like they were in my XML file, but are treated like text. Is there a way to parse the contents of the Definition field "on its way" to the DOM document, so these elements/entity refs will be transformed correctly to the HTML output? Thanks, Doug Howell Here's part of the code: (I'm using MSXML3 SP1) <% 'create XML doc from SQL results dim root dim entry dim newElem dim newAttrib dim i Set root = gobjXML.documentElement i = 0 While Not objRS.EOF Set newElem = gobjXML.createElement("entry") 'create a new entry root.appendChild newElem Set newElem = gobjXML.createElement("term") 'create the term element root.childNodes.Item(i).appendChild newElem root.childNodes.Item(i).lastChild.Text = objRS("Term") Set newElem = gobjXML.createElement("definition") root.childNodes.Item(i).appendChild newElem root.childNodes.Item(i).lastChild.Text = objRS("Definition") i = i + 1 objRS.MoveNext Wend objRS.close objConn.close Set objRS = Nothing Set objConn = Nothing 'do the transformation and write the results into the page below strResult = gobjXML.transformNode(gobjXSL) %> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
