Subject: Re: [xsl] Generating User Interfaces from Schema From: ben senior <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2005 16:42:32 +0200 |
We generate our web GUI from custom XML tags (like <gui type="transparent_window" trigger="onmouseover"> ...some html ... <load> ...some more html to load when triggered </load> </gui> We then use an XSL sheet to parse it, generating PHP and Javascript , or Flash depending on the output platform. Is this the sort of thing you are talking about?
