hello I am trying to set up remote access to an .xsl stylesheet I have created but seem to be encountering some problems. The basic idea is for remote users to be able to use my .xsl stylesheet to transform their .xml docs. When referencing the stylesheet locally it works fine. <?xml-stylesheet href="mystylesheet.xsl" type="text/xsl" ?> but when placing the .xsl on the server and trying to reference it using a full path I am unable to do so unless my xml file is in the same area on the server? obviously this is not ideal for remote users. <?xml-stylesheet href="http://www.mywebsite/xml/mystylesheet.xsl" type="text/xsl" ?> Any ideas or assistance much appreciated mo
Hello sorry I failed to mention that the .xsl stylesheet I wish to make available is referncing a .js file which I believe is where the remote access problem lies and not with the .xsl as originally suspected thank you mo
Do you really need to reference that .js file ? I've worked with many .xsl files and the files I need to reference (with xsl:include or xsl:import) are always other .xsl files with templates, variables, etc.
thanks for your response ajsa52 the .js file contains numerous rather convoluted functions that combined are able to convert between geographic coordinate systems. If there is a way to include these functions directly in the stylesheet without having to reference the .js file I am open to suggestions. I did try to include the code directly in the stylesheet (if done correctly would this work in terms of remote access?) but it bugged hence the reference to the .js file solution any suggestions/comments always welcome
Example of method 1 (referencing .js file). This method is to apply XSLT transformation on server: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"/> <script src="../js/yourfile.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script> </head> <body> <!-- Your content goes here --> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Code (markup): Example of method 2 (inserting content of .js file): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/> <xsl:param name="p_position" select="'6'"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"/> <script type="text/javascript"> <xsl:comment> <!-- Insert your javascript code here (example) --> if ( top.frames.length!=0 ) top.location = self.document.location; <!-- Also you can use xslt syntax like this --> var variable1 = <xsl:value-of select="$p_position"/>; </xsl:comment> </script> </head> <body> <!-- Your content goes here --> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Code (markup):
