What you are doing is very much within the mainstream of what XSLT is
designed for. Just go ahead and do it.

Any ideas or suggestions please?
Hi,
I am using xslt to transform xml into html and other
formats for a while
on
a project.
The brass now needs a way to easily change the look and
feel of the webapp
as pluggable themes. I use a central stylesheet for css
bindings, so all
xsl
files call on this css file.
What I was thinking of doing was pass a parameter to my xsl
files whose
value would be the theme name to use, where theme name would be the
directory where the image files and css files are located.
What this would
involve on my part is to manually go to each xsl file and change
<img src="../images/view.gif" title="View"/>
to
<img title="View"><xsl:attribute name="src"><xsl:value-of
select="$theme"/>view.gif</xsl:attribute></img>
where $theme=../images or any theme directory. and is an
input parameter
to
the stylesheet, provided externally.
I have been searching on the internet all morning trying to
see if anyone
has done this. Maybe I was not searching on the right
words, but I would
appreciate your thoughts on this as well as links if you
know of any.
Thanks.
TP.
