Re: [xsl] Re: XSL in HTML

["Alex Hildyard" <alexhildyard@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know what browser you are using, but I do know you can do this in
recent versions of IE (I think you need IE5 or higher, but don't quote me on
this).

FYI, have a look at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xmlsdk30/htm/xmmthtransformnode.asp

This includes the following script, which loads an XML file and an XSL
stylesheet, applies the transformation, then inserts the resultant document
into the HTML file -- which I believe is what you require.

<SCRIPT>
  // Load data.
  var source = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument");
  source.async = false;
  source.resolveExternals = false;
  source.load("books.xml");

  // Load style sheet.
  var stylesheet = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument");
  stylesheet.async = false;
  stylesheet.resolveExternals = false;
  stylesheet.load("sample.xsl");

  // Fill a div tag with the result of the transform
  divInfo.innerHTML = source.transformNode(stylesheet);
</SCRIPT>
BTW -- again, I'm speaking for IIS -- there's no reason you can't use
Javascript on the server and perform the transformation with ASP or
something similar, thus passing HTML to the client.

My knowledge of Apache is non-existent, however :)

Best wishes,

Alex
