Subject: [xsl] Best way to use XSL when transforming XML to HTML? From: "Kevin Duffey" <kevin.duffey@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2001 10:42:01 -0800 |
Hi there, I am reading Michael Kay's book (and I have to be honest..Java books are easier to read..is it me or am I just not suited for this type of language?? ;). I am along ways away from finishing it, but I am a little confused as to what would be the best way to transform xml into html in 3 circumstances: 1) I have to return HTML that sets up 3 frames. Each frame should contain a different page, and sometimes when one frame is submitted I want to have another frame updated as well. I am using JSP to output XML dynamically. I assume that I need to have one XSL return the "frames" setup and have each frame src point to 3 different pages that are converted to HTML via XSL? 2) Most of our pages involve forms, especially drop-down items, multi-select boxes, etc. In this case, is it better to use a template layout where I have something like: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="top_node"> <html> <head> <title>Online OrderBuilder ver .1</title> </head> <body> <xsl:apply-templates select="templates"/> </body> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="templates"> <div align="center"><img src="/images/orderbuilder/images.gif"/></div> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> or is there a better way to do this? 3) I assume to stay capable of being displayed in PDA devices, I MUST always use XSL on ALL pages of our site so that I can simply use a different XSL to output WML? In this case, should I be using XHTML 1.0 tags instead since from what I read supposedly PDA devices will work with xhtml and therefore I don't have to output html and wml? Thanks.
