Hi,
I have a simple question regarding the use of xsl WITH XHTML
to which I have
been unable to find the answer, and it is this:
+-------------------------------------------------+
| Can I apply an xsl stylesheet to (x)html |
| on the client-side *USING THE HTML <LINK> TAG*? |
+-------------------------------------------------+
No. Well, of course some browser might support
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/xslt+xml" href="foo.xsl"/>
etc. but I don't know of any.
For example: In 'somepage.html' (an xhtml document) I can
apply (relatively
trivial) formatting using css via the link tag:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="simpleFormatting.css" />
I wish, however, to apply the full power of xsl (eg:
inserting icons next to
headings), but
- *without* having to rename the file to 'somepage.xml'
Tweak the server setting to use a different MIME-type for *.html documents in
that directory.
- *without* using the <?xsl:stylesheet...?> processing instruction
What's wrong with it? (Other than that is should be "xml-stylesheet", not
"xsl:stylesheet").
Moreover, wishing to combine both css and xsl formatting, I
would like to
thus format 'somepage.html' through the following header:
<?xml version="1.1"?>
<html>
<head>
<title>XHTML Page with headings: blue (css)
with right-aligned icons
(xsl)</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/xml"
href="powerfulFormatting.xsl" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="simpleFormatting.css" />
</head>
...
In my browser (IE6) this doesn't seem to work. I see there is
Last I check, MSXML doesn't support XML 1.1.
a question of
mime type (text/xsl vs. text/xml) between different browsers,
but neither
works for me.
Use the
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="powerfulFormatting.xsl"?>
