Subject: Re: [xsl] XML Data Islands, XML Menu Trees and other stuff From: "M. David Peterson" <m.david@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 26 Nov 2004 11:20:53 -0800 |
Thanks Shawn. I've allready done some things with CSS2 so it's a good source for me. I'll look into it.
How about XML/XSL editors, what are people using?
Thanks.
Citando Shawn <sgrover@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Take a look at http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/ with regards to the menu (see the Pure CSS Menus link). The menu allows popup menus (for browsers with CSS2 support), with CSS only - no javascript or image swapping. It even degrades in a decent manner for browsers that don't have full CSS2 support (like IE). Be sure to check out the other topics on his site - he's done some really amazing stuff with CSS.
I've recently had to put together a proof of concept on this, using XML/XSL to create the menu items. Once you work through the coding, it's actually damn easy (probably easier for those who are much more familiar with XSL than I am).
I can't help you too much with regards to data islands. However, in the past I have used WDDX and JavaScript to manipulate data on the fly client-side, refresh the page with said data (without a trip to the server), then eventually submit the data back to the server for processing. It wasn't that tough. I've seen articles online on how to parse/build XML via JavaScript, so that should be just as easy. (For any who don't know, WDDX is an XML format for passing complex structures, developed by Allaire/Macromedia. It's useful, but I think support for it is slowly fading in favor of SOAP.)

I have to do a research to my boss involving a lot of XML technologies to try to define a path for future developments.
My aim is to try to define the most platform independent solution i can, away from MS and if possible not very Java dependent. So i'm looking to XML/XSL, and since you are all such a great guys (~violin music~) i'll ask for your advice.
I've been looking at XML Data Islands but don't understand what it is really. Is it a MS only feature or is it a W3C definition? Can i treat XML Data Islands with XSL?
The aim here is to have portions of a html page been updated without a trip to the server, refreshing the all page.
I saw here in the list people asking about building tree-like menus out of XML. Are there any examples i can show my boss?
What good IDE's are for XML/XSL, with visual capabilities?
And if any of you has some ideas about XML/XSL (and CSS/CSS2) techniques toward a platform-independent solution please give me some points.
Thanks to all for your kindness (~violins again~).
