I have an XML file on a web server which references an XSL with code as
follows:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="somefile.xsl"?>
When IE or Firefox requests this XML file, the browser detects the
stylesheet reference and applies it to the XML to transform it into
HTML. This works great, but what if I want to let the user choose from
multiple XSL files which can be applied to the same XML? My first
thought was URL parameters (which I otherwise generally avoid), but I am
not sure if there is any URL parameter that can override the stylesheet
referenced in the XML file. I was then thinking multiple XML files that
basically contain the XSL reference and an entity reference (keeping the
XML in a separate file), or using document() in the XSL files to open
the content XML, but I would prefer to avoid that if possible.
Does anyone have any recommendations, pros and cons of the various
techniques?
Thanks & regards,
-John
