Why is it so hard for newbies to just TRY to look at the XPath expressions and adjust them properly. Oh... anyway...Replace <td><xsl:value-of select = "name"/></td> With <td><xsl:variable name="LINKS" value="links"><a href="{$LINKS}" target="blank"><xsl:value-of select="name" /></a></td> Or <td><a target="_blank"><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="links" /></xsl:attribute></a></td> By the way, the name of the variable (LINKS) could also be anything you like. The reason why in example it's the same as value, but with capital letters is that it demonstrates the fact that a variable is accesed by it's name.

If you look at the host's offers in detail, you'll see the other name for bandwidth is "traffic". So, in other words: bandwidth is the amount of data which the host lets you download.For example, if you have html files and maybe some small graphics with total size of 1MB and you know you have 20 users who browse all of them each day, this means... 20users*1MB*30days=600MB of montly bandwidth. If the host says you have 15MB of bandwidth for a day, this practically makes your pages useless for the last 5 people. I mean, look at the difference for yourself. If you waste your bandwidth, your site becomes inaccesable (turned off if you'd like) until the period (in our case: the day, but it's most often the month) expries.When the bandwidth is unlimited, this means you don't have to calculate how much data would be downloaded. The host will let all users browse the page all the time, scince it doesn't have such restriction.

Another simmilar site, provided kindly by Chocolate570:http://findmyhosting.com/I guess we would also write hosting portals/resellers/comparers/whatever here as well .

I was thinking about it, but technically speaking, it's not a critical feature you should base your host choise on. Not to mention that not every free host has any emails. Also, if you add numbers, there will also arise the question for the space of the mail and other mail features. It's going into a different area.But add your own details if you have some of course. More is better when it comes to hosts . It's just that I wanted the topic to cover only things that one should really consider when making a deision for the host, limit him/herself to fewer hosts that suit the needs and look in detail their offers.By the way, the hosts you read in my first posts were from the General and Suggestion forums. Now I'll also write down some I found in the PHP forum:Name: siteburg.comPrice: FreeServer side scripting(s)/database(s): PHP, CGI, Perl/MySQLSpace: 100MBBandwidth: 10GBAds: YesWeb adress: subdomainAdditional Comments: It's not that much, but it's also not bad for a free offer.

Due to the large amount of topics about different hosting plans, I decided to write them all down here for you to look as a reference. I hope that the moderators will lock future topics about hosts and redirect them to this topic.Note: Please also check the posts below this one. They (may) also contain other hosts that might better serve your needs.If you would like to add a host that is not listed here, please follow this template: Or for a domain registar: Comparrisons and comments are allowed, as long as you have more to say then "Host X sucks. Host Y rules!" for example.Please note that the order of the sites in my post is the one in which I have fond them.

XSLT does have the generate-id() function thoguh. However, it's actually used like a kind of a temporary variable, rather then a identifier. So if you want to generate something to be displayed, it's truly better so generate it with ASP.There's also one other way though. By using the position() function. However, the "id" will not be preserved if the position is changed.

Go into each page and select File>Save As (for IE)?Anyway, you shouldn't do that for the sake of W3Schools.

You are practically looking for the holy grail. The only thing missing is the requrement of a third column .In order to get the left column to the left, you obviously need float:left, but for the height.. That's much bigger issue.See this layout and try to adjust it, so it has only 2 columns.

What version of dreamwaver are you using? I use 8 and it's not doing that. When I write "t" it suggests table and other tags that start with "t" so I can either continue typing for a more detailed suggestion or select from the list (in short: auto complete). And that's it. The ">" is automatically written, but it's left to me to decide the things inside. There are no <tr>s and <td>s created. When I type "</" it automatically writes the closing </table> tag, unless I have written some other tag after, that needs closing.If you're using MX2004, well... yeah, it sucks.

Actually, because XQuery is not yet a recommendation, it's not avaiable for any official language yet. It's avaiable as a language for some databases as an expansion to SQL, but that's it.XQuery will be avaiable in XSLT 2.0 so that's when it's true power will be uncovered. Until then, in order to manipulate XML documents,you would need to use XPath inside XSLT or some server side scripting language.

Actually, if you're going to use ASP, it's MUCH better to store different types of data in both SQL and XML depending on their purpose. SQL for catalogue purposes, and XML for all other data (most often- interface data such as the titles for the different links). Using XSLT you can transform the data more... clearly and use ASP only to execute the transformation and manipulate the database.

Much better. This blue rocks . Though I think you could have let the red too, just incase someone else prefers it .

I don't think there's any way to tell if you're showing only the root of the Schema .

Did anyone read my post? Oh, for the love of god:

Actually, I think this is possible with aural CSS2 too .

I personally like blue best, but this particular: No. Why don't you make the other colors gradients too? I think that would be more fair .

What I meant to say is that PHP doesn't have built in XSLT processor. It is avaiable with an extension. See the XSL functions of PHP for details. If anyone knows how to install the extension, please, do tell.

Maybe using some predicates will do the trick? <xsl:template match="/"><xsl:variable name="name">Jane</xsl:variable><xsl:choose><xsl:when test="name=$name"><xsl:for each="Workers/Worker[name=$name]">Yes<br /></xsl:for-each></xsl:when><xsl:otherwise>No</xsl:otherwise></xsl:choose></xsl:template> If I am correct, the conditional will look into every name attribute in the document and compare it with the variable. If there are any matches, it will loop through all workers with the specified name and will output Yes for each one. If there's not any avaiable, there will be only one No.P.S. I haven't tested this.P.S.S. You'll need some DOM that would create the variable with the desired value from a form, if you want to make this application practical. I can't do that script though.

As far as I know, this whole part of the forum is for Suggestions about W3Schools. If you have some kind of "upgrade" for W3Schools or something, you could always present it at least.If you mean an article... well.. W3Schools is about learning the basics, not mastering the languages. There are many materials on the net where you can find "how to" tutorials and everything. W3Schools is about showing you what's all about.

I knew XSLT could write JavaScript and VBScript, but ADO? Really?!?! Isn't ADO part of ASP which is a server side scripting language?Khm... anyway, we have our last problem here. As far as I understood, mona works with PHP. This would complicate the things a bit, scince unlike ASP, PHP doesn't have an XSLT processor .

PHP doesn't have XSLT processor built in as I have stated many times. Unless you find a way to install some kind of extension (see php.net for details on this one), you can't make PHP process the XSLT unless you create your own XSLT processor with PHP itself. I don't know much about PHP, so I can't give you a sample of what I mean.And about the above example I meant for example a database which has a record like <hardware><ram>256mb</ram></hardware> And another record with for example <image><url>www.example.com/pic1.jpg</url><alt>pic1</alt></image> And now let's say we have a PHP file which creates an instanse of a container div for example and catches the data in the <hardware> element. It then displays it and actually shows that the content from the <ram> element is RAM memory. The same is done for the <image> of the current row.Normally, if this was ordinary XML, you would have to transform the data with XSLT and execute it with a server side language. But as said above, PHP doesn't have XSLT support. It does have XML thoguh.This approach is better then to keep each SQL data in it's own record, because it makes the data more structured and expandable. Instead of having another table for the images, you have a single column which contain it. However, this is not always better. Infact, there are not many cases, where this prooves to be usefull.

Perhaps it's the namespace... I recently encountered simmilar thing. Try giving the RSS it's namespaces back. Also, execuse me for my lasiness, but you might want to try "isolating" the problem first. Apply all different changes and removals one by one and see where the problem first arises.

Yes. You must insert the code from this topic in all of your XHTMLs and of course, adjust it properly. That code would display the transformation at the place of the element which has the appropriate ID.

Not with data islands. With XSLT is simpler though. There's the <xsl:sort> element, specialized for this task.

The Web Primer tutorial was written for cases like this. There's a link to it in the middle of the home page. It describes what a web developer needs to know and it practically follows the orders in which one should learn.In short I could say: XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML + some server side scripting language of your choise. It might be PHP, ASP, Cold Fusion, etc.The other tutorials are advises for optimizing your work, not for creation of web sites.
