 Hi,
Let me try again. I want this to be parsed by the browser to display a
dropdown menu to the browser-user (the result of a server-side
transformation - other things not showing in this snippet needing the
transform):
<HTML XMLNS:myMenu>
<?IMPORT namespace="myMenu" implementation="/js/menu.htc"/>
<HEAD><TITLE></TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<DIV STYLE="position:absolute; padding:5px; background:menu; border:2px
outset #cccccc;">
<myMenu:menu id="Site" onsubmenu_click="doFunction()" >Site
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_GenSite">Generate Site</myMenu:menu>
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_PromoteSite">Promote Site</myMenu:menu>
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_EditProps_Site">Properties</myMenu:menu>
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_SiteMap">View Sitemap</myMenu:menu>
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_New_Site">Edit Another Site</myMenu:menu>
</myMenu:menu>
</DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>
-----------------------------------------
I had been wrapping it like so:
<![CDATA[<HTML XMLNS:myMenu>
<?IMPORT namespace="myMenu" implementation="/js/menu.htc"/>]]>
and
<![CDATA[<DIV STYLE="position:absolute; padding:5px; background:menu;
border:2px outset #cccccc;">
<myMenu:menu id="Site" onsubmenu_click="doFunction()" >Site
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_GenSite">Generate Site</myMenu:menu>
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_PromoteSite">Promote Site</myMenu:menu>
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_EditProps_Site">Properties</myMenu:menu>
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_SiteMap">View Sitemap</myMenu:menu>
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_New_Site">Edit Another Site</myMenu:menu>
</myMenu:menu>
</DIV>]]>
--------------------
IS there a way to do this without CDATA and xsl:text?
The reason it has to do namespaces is because what would happen if I had
something like this directly below? I get a namespace error of course:
<xsl:template name="menu">
<DIV STYLE="position:absolute; padding:5px; background:menu; border:2px
outset #cccccc;">
<myMenu:menu id="Site" onsubmenu_click="doFunction()" >Site
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_GenSite">Generate Site</myMenu:menu>
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_PromoteSite">Promote Site</myMenu:menu>
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_EditProps_Site">Properties</myMenu:menu>
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_SiteMap">View Sitemap</myMenu:menu>
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_New_Site">Edit Another Site</myMenu:menu>
</myMenu:menu>
</DIV>
</xsl:template>
-----------------------------
If I assign a namespace for the server-side transformation, like so:
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:myMenu="http://blah.com/EasyToUseMenu">
<xsl:template name="menu">
<DIV STYLE="position:absolute; padding:5px; background:menu; border:2px
outset #cccccc;">
<myMenu:menu id="Site" onsubmenu_click="doFunction()" >Site
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_GenSite">Generate Site</myMenu:menu>
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_PromoteSite">Promote Site</myMenu:menu>
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_EditProps_Site">Properties</myMenu:menu>
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_SiteMap">View Sitemap</myMenu:menu>
<myMenu:menu id="mnItem_New_Site">Edit Another Site</myMenu:menu>
</myMenu:menu>
</DIV>
</xsl:template>
--------------------
my output to the browser is:
<DIV STYLE="position:absolute; padding:5px; background:menu; border:2px
outset #cccccc;">
<menu id="Site" onsubmenu_click="doFunction()" >Site
<menu id="mnItem_GenSite">Generate Site</myMenu:menu>
<menu id="mnItem_PromoteSite">Promote Site</myMenu:menu>
<menu id="mnItem_EditProps_Site">Properties</myMenu:menu>
<menu id="mnItem_SiteMap">View Sitemap</myMenu:menu>
<menu id="mnItem_New_Site">Edit Another Site</myMenu:menu>
</menu>
</DIV>
------------------
With the output as shown direclty above the code will not work in the
browser. Does this make the problem clear?
thanks for the help,
