RE: Transformation with XSLT & XML In Same File

Hi Ron,

you said:

Anyways a have one document with the xml definition at the 
beginning of the
document and xslt at the end (or vice versa is possible). I 
would like to
transform the xml.

This method is a bit unconventional, and it may not be exactly 
what you are asking for, but it works in the Gecko based and IE 
browsers.

Don't know if it would work in any of the other parsers, or if 
it would work on a backend.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='this.xml'?>
<xsl:stylesheet 
        xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
        version="1.0" 
        xmlns:z="MyXMLStuff" 
        exclude-result-prefixes="z">

        <!-- XSL transformation here -->

        <xsl:output method="html"/>

        <xsl:template match="z:MyZRoot" >
                <html>
                        <body>
                                <h1>
                                        <xsl:apply-templates select="z:hello"/>
                                        <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
                                        <xsl:apply-templates select="z:world"/>
                                </h1>
                        </body>
                </html>         
        </xsl:template>

        <xsl:template match="z:hello">
                <i>
                        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
                </i>
        </xsl:template>
        <xsl:template match="z:world">
                <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        </xsl:template>


        <!-- Actual XML portion here with a namespace prefix -->

        <z:MyZRoot>
                <z:hello>Hello</z:hello>
                <z:world>World!</z:world>
        </z:MyZRoot>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This approach is probably not very efficient.

Dear All

Before any one asks, why would you ever want to do such a 
thing, I am sort
of forced into.

Anyways a have one document with the xml definition at the 
beginning of the
document and xslt at the end (or vice versa is possible). I 
would like to
transform the xml.

Do any of the transformers support such a funny set up, or am 
I going to
have to split up the files some way.

thanks

kent
