 > Checkout www.bayes.co.uk/xml if you have ie5 for a hypoteteical usecase. <ie5_screen> "The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later. " -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unexpected failure </ie5_screen> This is from this website. Hard to reproduce. It appears ( occasionaly ) in 'Announcements' and 'Vote '. It happened after I pressed on 5-6 hyperlinks. Don't think such a level of robustness is in any way acceptable for something I call website - but probably it is. ( When I'm saying "there is no Mozilla browser" - I mean that there is no application wich is robust enough to be comparable to some other ... applications ... ) Anyway. It is cool, I think. I just don't udnerstand why can't you do the same with server-side rendering ? .. Anyway stylesheet is strongly CSS based... And it will be reliable ;-) I would like to explain my previuos letters a bit. No doubt, people can ( and usualy are ) using even crazy tools to build some things with those tools. They can even build a nice web pages inserting 1x1.gif's into 'appropriate' place. Regarding the word 'hypotetical' - you are right and I'm wrong: People do use <?xml-stylesheet to bing XSL to XML. People validate XML documents inserting <SYSTEM into well-formed XML document on the fly ( because 'that's the standard way to invoke the validation if you don't want to pollute the document with hardcoded path to DTD's), people are suggesting things like: "place your variable outside the XSL stylesheet and then use document() to convert it into node-set, because it is somehow standard way in XSL". The <?xml-stylesheet provides some way of binding. But this way is not scalable. The scalable way should allow: rendering any document with any stylesheet without changing the document itself an any point of processing. ( validating any document with any DTD without changing the document itself - but that's not as important as it is with the stylesheets ). And this 'realy-scalable-way' has nothing to do with <?xml-stylesheet 'standard' way of (hardcoded) binding. Rgds.Paul. BTW. I have looked at the 'internals' of www.bayes.co.uk/xml and I think that if you will have many pairs like 'toc.xsl' for 'index.xml' ( but not 'index.xsl' ) - the site could become unsupportable mess pretty fast. If you will have 'index.xsl' 'index.xml' pairs - you don't need <?xml-stylesheet at all, if browser will use 'favicon.ico-alike behavior". That was my point. Not that "it is impossible to build something with MS IE XSLT dialect". It is possible - sure. Your stylesheet will just fail with almost any other XSLT implementation. If you don't belive me - try rendering your xml files with your XML stylesheet with some XSLT implementation other than SAXON. ;-) I'm sorry - I think I'l not more participate in this thread. If something is still not clear - I am ready to explain it by mail. *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
