I had heard rumors about this a while back. *GREAT* to see them truly
embracing the power of client-side XML processing!
It's got some real XSLT 1.0 gems in there:
<xsl:template name="flash">
<xsl:param name="id"/>
<xsl:param name="width"/>
<xsl:param name="height"/>
<xsl:param name="src"/>
<xsl:param name="quality"/>
<xsl:param name="base"/>
<xsl:param name="flashvars"/>
<xsl:param name="bgcolor"/>
<xsl:param name="menu"/>
<xsl:param name="wmode"/>
<xsl:param name="noflash" select="current()"/>
<div id="{$id}"/>
−
<script language="javascript">
printFlash("
<xsl:value-of select="$id"/>
", "
<xsl:value-of select="$src"/>
", "
<xsl:value-of select="$wmode"/>
", "
<xsl:value-of select="$menu"/>
", "
<xsl:value-of select="$bgcolor"/>
", "
<xsl:value-of select="$width"/>
", "
<xsl:value-of select="$height"/>
", "
<xsl:value-of select="$quality"/>
", "
<xsl:value-of select="$base"/>
", "
<xsl:value-of select="$flashvars"/>
", "
<xsl:value-of select="$noflash"/>
")
</script>
</xsl:template>
That aside, constructing the page using client side calls to the
document() is certainly something I hadn't considered - it seems a
very modular almost MVC approach.
- The main page is just a barebones outline of the page
- Each component is populated by transforming a separate XML file eg
xsl:apply-templates select="document('sidebar.xml')"
- The XML for each component can be created on the fly
The massive downside of being at the mercy of whatever browser todays
visitor is using still applies, but it's the answer to your "does
anyone use/need the document() function on the client?" question.
