[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] several questions on XML to HTML processing with XSL
Hello, I've tried to find my answers in the archives, but didn't succeed. I want my website based on XML files which are translated into browser-dependent HTML by using XSLT and SAXON 5.3.2. I've managed to get quite far but now I end up with problems I can't seem to solve. 1. I want to output <LAYER ID='something'><!-- some HTML goes here --></LAYER> when I find the browser is Netscape 4+ and <DIV ID='something'><!-- some HTML goes here --></DIV> when the browser is Internet Explorer 4+. I prefer to have both versions handled by one XSL sheet so I've tried something like this, but it fails to work: <xsl:variable name="browser"><!-- some mechanism to decide which browser is used --></xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="PageSection">DIV</xsl:variable> <xsl:if test="$browser='NC4'> <saxon:assign name="PageSection">LAYER</saxon:assign> </xsl:if> <xsl:value-of select="<$PageSection ID='someID'>"/> <!-- some HTML goes here --> </xsl:value-of select="</$PageSection>"/> 2. I want to allow (well-formed) HTML in my XML file which I want to output as is in my HTML file, how should I go about? E.g. I want this in my XML file and out to HTML in the same way: <!-- lots of XML goes here --> <DIV ID='something' width='10' height='20'> <IMG src='img.jpg'> <P>caption text goes here</P> </DIV> <!-- more XML goes here --> 3. If I include an HTML tag as valid XML tag in my XML file, how do I output all attributes with their values? E.g. I include <TABLE> in my XML file and I want to add (valid HTML) attributes like width, height etc. which I want to include in my HTML output. What should be the appropriate XSL code? If these questions have been answered in the past, please point me to the correct URL. Thanks in advance.
