> href="D:\Test\XML\subst.xhtml"?>
URIs don't start with D: (unless you know of a competing protocol to
http:-) and don't use \
href="file:///D:/Test/XML/subst.xhtml"?>
sometimes it will work, but if it does that is a non conforming
application being "kind" and at some point you'll come up against a
conforming application that will fail (See Ken Holman's message from a
minute ago)
Again, my point is that I want to be able to build and design the
page as a regular html (xhtml) doc, using standard tools.
Hm, OK. personally I wouldn't use a tool that didn't show me exactly the
markup that it was inserting (I don't trust them enough:-) but if that's
what you want I'd do a two step process (as xslt doesn't have dynamic
xpath evaluation)
1 write your template (no need for xsl:version in the html element this
time, and use the same {} syntax in element content as well as attributes.
<html>
<head><title>My Template</title></head>
<body>
<br />Name <input type="text" value="{/mapping/NAME}" size="15"/>
<br />Address <input type="text" value="{/mapping/ADDR}" size="15"/>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>One</th>
<th>Two</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<xsl:for-each select="/mapping/MYTABLE/ROW">
<tr>
<td>{/some/path/C1}</td>
<td>{/some/path/C2}</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
2) run stylesheet a over your template
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:attribute name="xsl:version">1.0</xsl:version>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*[starts-with(.,'{')]">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:element name="xsl:value-of">
<xsl:attribute name="select">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(substring-after(.,'{'),'}')"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:stylesheet>
with a bit of luck that will generate for you a stylesheet like the one
you posted, which you then
3) run this new stylesheet over your xml file.
