[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: I have the XSLT, now need to make it usable asuser
 Thank you. Two quick questions: >These I don't put in an HTML form... My HTML form is created by applying XSLT templates. For example, a <measure> element becomes an input box with the @Name applied in the XML. All templates spring from a simple structure: <html> <head></head> <body> <xsl:apply-templates /> </body> </html> Then I was hoping to just add some vb or javascript to the form as needed...is it feasible to do it this way? >I write a JavaScript which captures the user's input and constructs an XML string (a >well-formed, serialized document, if you will)... Any way you could show me a bit of an example...? Thanks again, the information from this list is at least leading me in the right direction, I think!

That is to say, the specifics of the server-side code depend on the HTTP server and the database. Are you using IIS or Apache, Java Server Pages, or ActiveServer Pages, or Perl CGI scripts? The answers to those questions will give you the particulars, but in general, here's how I handle it. I place user input controls on the HTML page to permit the user to add and modify data. These I don't put in an HTML form, because I'm not going to send those values directly to the server. Instead, I create a form containing a single text input control and set the form's action attribute to the server handler and the form's style.display property to "none". I write a JavaScript which captures the user's input and constructs an XML string (a well-formed, serialized document, if you will). When whatever I set up to cause the update to the database occurs (usually a button click), I call the JavaScript function that assembles the XML from the user input controls, set the value of the hidden text input to the output of that function, and submit the form to the server. At the server you can perform an insert or update to your database and store the whole string in a single column. If you later want to query the document, you can retrieve the string and using the server-side programming objects available to you, create an XML document object from the string and query it with XPath. -- Charles Knell cknell@xxxxxxxxxx - email XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
