Dear David,
I want to thank you for your detailed answers and for referring to each of
my questions.
I really appreciate it.
I don't think I understood your first answer (I'll be thankful if you'll be
more specific).
With your permission I want to clear-up my problem:
I've XML report-files on the disk. I need to display these xml-files in 2
ways (detailed and summarized, which is done by XSL). the only different
between these 2 displays is that in the summarized I don't apply certain
template.
I've an html 'index' file which is used to organized these xml-report-files
as links.
the only tools I can used is the web-browser, XML, and XSL. I'm not allowed
to write any other program.
I don't have any server-side, just local files on the disk.
I've attached an example
the only diff between 'report.xsl' and 'short_report.xsl' lies in line 22
best regards

Subject: Re: [xsl] apply 2 diff xsl on the same xml OR passing parameter to
xsl
Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2004 16:50:46 GMT
1. Is there a way to pass a parameter to the XSL file through the xml
URL ?
(this way I'll have one xsl file and according to the parameter value
I'll
display only what I need)
Not directly, no, you would need the xml file to use the xml-stylesheet
PI to apply a stylesheet that generated some html, and then use
javascript in that html to access the URI and do anything else needed.
2. Is there a way, which is not browser depended, to apply the needed
XSL on
the xml file ?
(meaning I've 2 XSL file for 'detailed' version and 'summarized'
version)
such javascript is likely to be browser dependendent although there are
some javascrip libraries available that hide the dependencies as much as
possible.
3. I didn't quite understand, is XSL processor a built-in in all
web-browser
? are there platform or web-browsers that don't suppot XSL processor and
additional program should be installed on it ?
Lots of browsers don't have XSLT.
IE 6 and mozilla (which includes, netscape 7 and firefox, etc) do have
XSLT support, but Opera doesnt. KHTML browsers such as safari on the mac
don't IE on the Mac doesn't, lynx doesn't,....
4. how can it be the IE6 and netscape fail to open 10M xml file but when
I'm
adding to this file an XSL stylesheet it take no longer the 10sec ?
The default stylesheet in both cases makes a javascript enabled folding
tree view of the document, presumably it was taking a long time
for that tree view to be generated/rendered.
David
