Yes and No.
You can define the content. But as you point out, it does need some xsl/xslt processing.
Cristoff wrote: but I can neither program it nor I want to learn it
I will say a big problem. Developing good xslt is programing really. (Or call it another art form.)
Your issue is what enviroment do you want to use. If you are serious that you do not have time. Then I think that is your answer, you do not have time. Really depends on what you call basic stuff.
Cristoff wrote: Is this possible to create with XML/XSL/XSLT?
Yes, very much so. Now which option to you want and what constraints do your clients force upon you?
Do a search on AJAX, and Apache Cocoon for some options. Now my guess is you do not have time for either. So what are you comfortable developing dynamic pages now? Select it, add xml processing and generate the basic pages just as you always have. Then add the content by getting the values of the xml element content from either the DOM or SAX models (for small and simpler to understand probably the DOM)

I don't want to learn PHP but the server supports only PHP and MySQL. I'd rather use ASP.NET but it is not available.
I want to learn XSLT. My concern is if just XSLT and all other XML techs are enough for the job.
I know that IE 6, Firefox etc. have full support of XML, XSLT etc. so they can do the processing on the client side but I also want the site to be viewed by older browser so I need to process the date on the server. I just have no idea what is needed for the job. A special server or to program the processing in PHP, ASP.NET...

Well, I don't want to learn PHP because that will be the first and the last project I'll ever do with it but I'll definitely have much more use just for XML/XSLT. I already have done a personal site with both technologies and it works fine (No you cannot view it, it is not on the web).
The site I'm working now is made mostly of static HTML pages + some JavaScript. I'm doing it with Dreamweaver. Once it is done I really have no time constraints to come up with a new version.
This time I would like to have all the data as XML that I can be created by another person manually.
Then when needed just the XML files are replaced without the need to change everything else (the way it is now).
If I had access to a server that supports .NET. I wouldn't have asked here at all.

Sounds like you are most of the way then. Assuming the arrangement of the page is basically static, you can output the html declarations (header and body wrapping elements) with either text output from PHP or the initial output from the xslt processing. Then you add the changing html (table rows, or what ever) via the matching loops you have with the xslt processing. The XSLT process does not have to output xml. You do not have to learn much php, just enough to read in the xml file and then start the xslt processing.

Same boat I am in right now. I have just about convinced myself to go with a different and more expensive service to add the capability.

Hi,
I have an xml file that is all on one line, it is well formed but I want to write it out indented.
From:
<fdt:supportedlanguages><fdt:languageid languageid="1033"><fdt:languageid languageid="1031">
To:
<fdt:supportedlanguages> <fdt:languageid languageid="1033"> <fdt:languageid languageid="1031">
Any help would be great.
Thanks

What langauge?
If .net then set the formatting option in the XmlTextWriter class.
XmlTextWriter w = new XmlTextWriter(Console.Out);
w.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
This is from the MSDN library.

ObjMarcTxtNode = ObjXMLHoldings.SelectSingleNode("//USMARC/TXT");
if(ObjMarcTxtNode!=null)
{
if (ObjMarcTxtNode.InnerText.Trim()!="")
strMarctxt=Server.HtmlEncode(ObjMarcTxtNode.InnerText);
}
if (strMarctxt !="")
{
string tmpspace = "\n" + " ";
strMarctxt= strMarctxt.Replace(tmpspace, " ");
string strControlNo = ObjHoldings.ParseXML("008 |", strMarctxt).ToString();
if (strControlNo.Trim()!="")
strRecLanguage= strControlNo.Substring(35,3);
string strNativeDelimiter = " ";
//Native Identifier
//ISBN
string strNativeISBN = ObjHoldings.Parse880XML("|020-",strMarctxt).ToString();
//'ISSN
string strNativeISSN = ObjHoldings.Parse880XML("|022-",strMarctxt).ToString();
if (strNativeISBN.Trim()!="" || strNativeISSN.Trim()!="")
{
strNativeIdentifier = (strNativeISBN.Trim().Length>0?strNativeISBN + strNativeDelimiter:"") + strNativeISSN.Trim();
strNativeIdentifier = strNativeIdentifier.Replace("|","");
}
pls advice how i can pass the xml file instead of the url and get info or tag 020 and 022 from the xml file.

Programmatically adding TabPage Contents into DataGrid from XML File
Hi,
We are creating a C# Windows application using VS 2005.
It reads in an xml file and creates tab pages that each
have a datagrid that holds the specific information
for that tab's node.
We have been able to programmatically give the tab.text
(the label on the tabs), but when we try to add the
specific data for each tab into a datagrid on the
tab's page, all of the data gets added instead of the
data for just that node.
Perhaps we need to clear the grid first???
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Anne

Hello everyone.
I am new to VML. I am modifying code I found years ago that I use as a "popup bubble" that moves around the screen displaying information based on the mouseclick. My original code was a small oval with a point poking out of the bottom (you know, like a comic strip). This new project I need the same functionality but a larger rounded rectangle with the point out the bottom. I finally got the shape right but I can't get the FILL COLOR to apply.
Here is page containing the new attempted shape followed by the original:
If anyone can help me fill the shape with 95% opacity yellow I would be eternally greatful.
I'm tired of this simple code spanking me

I'm sure I am missing something simple here. I have a string in that contains an XML document. I'd like to load that string into a dataset/table to be the source for a datagrid. All the examples I can find assume a) I want to read the XML from a file or b) I'll get it from a sql server using the for xml clause. Neither is true. I already have the data, I just want to get it into the dataset/table.
Any suggestions? The datagrid.readxml function seems to be exactly what I want, except it requires a file or a stream.
There has to be an easy way.
|
|
|
|
|
System.IO.StringReader and System.IO.StringWriter enable you to read from and write to a string as a stream.
|
|
|
|

Awesome! That's exactly what I needed. Thanks.

Hey howzit?
All i wanna do is put some XML in a node and return it thats it. How do I achieve this? Could you provide an example?

You need to specify a programming language.

Can the < and > characters be used in XML data?
If so how are they written to not be confused as tags?
Thanks
