 Hi,
I am wondering if anyone knows of a standard way to change the style sheet
applied to an XML document at run time. For example, I have a single XML
photo album document (see below) that contains both the thumbnail and
full-size versions of each photo. I have a default style sheet "album.xsl"
that displays a table with the thumbnails. What I would like is to somehow
make each thumbnail a link to the same XML document with a different style
sheet applied, say "photo.xsl". Microsoft has proprietary DOM extensions
that can do this; I was hoping there would be a more standard way. Seems
like there ought to be a way to specify "document + style sheet" in a URI...
Thanks,
Todd

album.xml:

<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='album.xsl'?>
<ALBUM>
<PHOTO>
<CAPTION>Photo 1</CAPTION>
<THUMBNAIL SRC="t_photo1.jpg" />
<FULL_SIZE SRC="photo1.jpg" />
</PHOTO>
<PHOTO>
<CAPTION>Photo 2</CAPTION>
<THUMBNAIL SRC="t_photo2.jpg" />
<FULL_SIZE SRC="photo2.jpg" />
</PHOTO>
</ALBUM>

album.xsl:
--------------------------------
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">
<!-- This is the root document template -->
<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML><BODY><CENTER>
<!-- Table of thumbnails goes here -->
<TABLE BORDER="1">
<TR>
<xsl:for-each select="ALBUM/PHOTO">
<TD ALIGN="CENTER">
<A>
<!-- If the full-size image is not included,
don't link to anything -->
<xsl:if test="FULL_SIZE">
<xsl:attribute name="HREF">
<!-- Do something here that transforms album.xml
with "photo.xsl" -->
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<IMG>
<xsl:attribute name="SRC">
<xsl:value-of select="THUMBNAIL/@SRC"/>
