Dear Micheal,
Thanks for the reply.
I note, 1) that firefox is not a good development environment.
2) In my XML file, the elements are in fact <Artist_2ndname>,
<Artist_1stname>
3) With regards to your third point, yes I appreciate that more reading
of XML and XSLT would clearly be advantageous. However, the project is
quite ambitious, and I am the sole developer.
So I am simultaneously learning
-MySQL
-PHP
-XML/XSLT
-X3D
alongside the development of a realtime multichannel audio environment
built in PureData
as well as gathering data and information about the field under study,
namely sound art.
There is a year left of the project, and it should be clear to you that
gaining a comprehensive understanding of all these languages in this
time would be a real challenge. Instead, I am posting up to the relevent
boards in the hope that solutions may be forthcoming from the respective
development communities.
Are there any particular resources you would recommend for learning
XML/XSLT if such solutions are not forthcoming? I have spent a week or
so dipping into online tutorials etc, its just that the specifics of
XML/XSLT with regards to X3D remain rather obscured.
Thanks and regards
J Milo Taylor
