Subject: How do browsers (IE4.01) trap XML streams coming from server & associate them with XSL ? From: "Amit Rekhi" <amitr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 31 Jul 1998 12:32:27 +0530 |
Hello,
Is IE 4.01 capable of trapping XML streams and processing them using XSL as they come from the server? (just as it traps and processes HTML streams from the server). I am in the process of building an XML enabled server side application which will talk to SQL server(6.5) tables and facing such a problem. My ENVIRONMENT is :- * OS :- Windows NT Server 4.0 * Scripting Evnvironment :- ASP * Scripting Language :- VBScript * Client Browser :- IE 4.01 * Web Server :- IIS 4.0 * Database Server :- SQL Server 6.5 I am trying to incorporate the following functionalities to the application in the following manner:- FUNCTION 1 :- The application should be able to construct XML data sources from the data stored in the SQL tables. IMPLEMENTATION OF FUNCTION 1:- I am using ASP (ADO objects within ASP) to construct XML data sources within ASP pages.A code snippet is :- . . <%@ LANGUAGE = VBScript %> <?XML VERSION="1.0"?> <TABLE1> <% Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Conn.Open "TABLE1" Set RS = Conn.Execute("select * from TABLE1") Do while not RS.EOF %> <FIELD1><%= RS("Field1") %></FIELD1> <FIELD2><%= RS("Field1") %></FIELD2> <% RS.MoveNext Loop %> </TABLE1> FUNCTION 2 :- The server application should send the XML data source constructed in the ASP as an XML stream to the client browser. IMPLEMENTATION OF FUNCTION 2:- Sending the XML stream back to the client browser is easily achievable through ASP. But the problem is in trapping the XML stream by the client browser. Just like in a normal HTML interaction , the server sends an HTML stream back, which the client browser traps and displays , the same mechanism should also hold if one plans to send an XML stream back. Based on the above content here are my questions :- 1) Does IE 4.01 trap and process the XML data stream as it arrives from the server? (The way it traps and processes HTML) If so how?If not, how to make it do it? Ideally, an XML data stream is attached with an XSL stylesheet for display purposes, for which the MSXSL processor can be used. 2) How to associate the incoming XML data stream (not a .XML file) from the server with an XSL stylesheet (using MSXSL processor) in IE4.01? Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks in advance, AMIT |
