Subject: RE: how to change xsl dynamically? From: "Sam.Walker" <Sam.Walker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 10 Sep 1999 14:06:22 +0100 |
I can't speak for Michele, but the solution I am looking for does not involve an http server. example If I had three files on my machine myinfo.xml, filter1.xsl, filter2.xsl. I want to use my web browser to view myinfo.xml using filter1.xsl or filter2.xsl. I have not identified a way to achieve this without (a) modifiying myinfo.xml or (b) using a http server with a server side script/application. I guess that my problem is that the style sheet is specified in the header of the xml document, and this means that without modifying the xml file there is only one view of the information. Is there a way or technique which allows you to specify in a seperate document - 'use this xml document and render it with this style sheet'? eg forgive the syntax - myinfo_filter1.xml <xml:include select='test3.xml'> <xsl:include select="filter1.xsl> -----Original Message----- From: Marco.Mistroni@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:Marco.Mistroni@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 10 September 1999 09:33 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: how to change xsl dynamically? hi, maybe i do not understand fully the question, but if the problem is to change xsl dynamically you could try to do like this: you write a common stylesheet in which you import another stylesheet the name of this stylesheet is a param-variable, so that you can change it from for example a servlet. when you call for example the servlet, based on a value entered by the user you use the instruction setStylesheetParam() to set the name of the xsl stylesheet. Have i understood the problem correctly? best regards marco > -----Original Message----- > From: EXT Sam.Walker [mailto:Sam.Walker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 10.
