Thanks Shawn. I've allready done some things with CSS2 so it's a good source for
me. I'll look into it.
How about XML/XSL editors, what are people using?
Thanks.
Citando Shawn <sgrover(_at_)open2space(_dot_)com>:
Take a look at http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/ with regards to the
menu
(see the Pure CSS Menus link). The menu allows popup menus (for browsers
with CSS2 support), with CSS only - no javascript or image swapping. It even
degrades in a decent manner for browsers that don't have full CSS2 support
(like IE). Be sure to check out the other topics on his site - he's done
some really amazing stuff with CSS.
I've recently had to put together a proof of concept on this, using XML/XSL
to
create the menu items. Once you work through the coding, it's actually damn
easy (probably easier for those who are much more familiar with XSL than I
am).
I can't help you too much with regards to data islands. However, in the past
I have used WDDX and JavaScript to manipulate data on the fly client-side,
refresh the page with said data (without a trip to the server), then
eventually submit the data back to the server for processing. It wasn't that
tough. I've seen articles online on how to parse/build XML via JavaScript,
so that should be just as easy. (For any who don't know, WDDX is an XML
format for passing complex structures, developed by Allaire/Macromedia. It's
useful, but I think support for it is slowly fading in favor of SOAP.)

I have to do a research to my boss involving a lot of XML technologies to
try to define a path for future developments.
My aim is to try to define the most platform independent solution i can,
away from MS and if possible not very Java dependent. So i'm looking to
XML/XSL, and since you are all such a great guys (~violin music~) i'll ask
for your advice.
I've been looking at XML Data Islands but don't understand what it is
really. Is it a MS only feature or is it a W3C definition? Can i treat XML
Data Islands with XSL?
The aim here is to have portions of a html page been updated without a trip
to the server, refreshing the all page.
I saw here in the list people asking about building tree-like menus out of
XML. Are there any examples i can show my boss?
What good IDE's are for XML/XSL, with visual capabilities?
And if any of you has some ideas about XML/XSL (and CSS/CSS2) techniques
toward a platform-independent solution please give me some points.
Thanks to all for your kindness (~violins again~).
