Thank you very much!!!! After adding > it worked perfect! I can't thank
you enough for your help!
To answer your questions....
What goes wrong if you just don't use the processing instruction?......
The PI somehow allows the webpage to interact with the LinkOne program. The
LinkOne viewer uses the IE engine installed on the user's machine (IE6 for
our company). When le-select is set to always (le-select="always"), a
selection box is displayed on the left side of that field (when it is
displayed in the LinkOne viewer).
An example would look similar to
[] Part Number 1 Description Price
[] Part Number 2 Description Price
The PI not only allows the selection box to appear, but when a user clicks
on the selection box, the record is added to the shopping cart in the bottom
of the LinkOne viewer.
Without the PI, the page displays in the LinkOne Viewer just as it does in
Internet Explorer (without the selection box), and the items can't be
selected.
I don't know how including the IS10744 PI causes this to work (I'd like to
find out, and build a local file for it, if possible, or to be able to
bypass it altogether).
Ideally you need to update the application that is expecting that PI and
modify it to accept something that is conformant with the namespace
spec......
The LinkOne program is a vendor supplied application, so unfortunately, I
won't be able to modify it.
Do you really have an XML processor that requires these Processing
instructions in XML as opposed to HTML files?....
Keeping in mind that I'm still new to this, .....being able to use XML/XSL
instead of HTML/CSS seems it will generate greater possibilites. I can now
create a query in CorVu (our querying application), and export it directly
to an XML extension (I can include the XML declarations in the query
output). Although I can do that for HTML, I can create one query and create
multiple reports with the use of XSL (I think I can pass a parameter from
the XML the user opens to the XSL (or select the title element from the
XML), which will then import the stylesheet for the selected department (or
select the nodes for that user's department), or maybe just test the XML
title element to determine the template match). Also, From what I have
read, it would appear that I should be able to use XQuery to retrieve the
data automatically from the data source, instead of having to run a query
and export the data (but this will be something for the near future).
I hope I made the correct decision in selecting XML/XSL over HTML/CSS?
