[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Relationship between XSLT and ASP (was Re: asp problem)
 For example, your ASP code: <a href="page.asp?member=<%= strMemberNo %>"> contains static and dynamic content (the dynamic content is enclosed within the <% ... %> characters. This would be similar to something like: <a href="page.asp?member={position()}"/> in XSLT. Where the dynamic content is enclosed in an attribute value template which contains the XPath expression position(). In the latest MSXSL technology preview, they provide an XSLT ISAPI extension for a web server: http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/webtechnology/xml/xslisapi.asp which essentially makes XSLT the server-side "ASP" technology. I think that XSLT could be a really [expletive deleted]-kicking server-side scripting language- especially once MS allows us to get XML streams directly into the XSLT engine from ADO recordsets or from SQL Server 2000 queries. This will allow direct transforms of XML streams into relevant HTML for down-level browsers, or filter-through schema conversion types of transformations as well. Has anyone else reached a similar kind of conclusion? Does this relate similarly to the Cocoon efforts at Apache?
