ATM Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Okay, I Have and XHTML document, which I'm happy with and I would like to make a Content Management System by haveing a program on my home computer which will save to the xml file. Then the HTML will get the data from the XML File (like a data island). Could someone please point me in the right direction of how I can do this and if I can do this.It has to be supported in all majorly used browsers, Thanks!

aspnetguy Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 You will need a server side language (i think) unless you can use XSLT to tranform the xml document when it is loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATM Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 Thanks, I just need someone to explain how to do it, not the code, just bassically what scripts you have to use and what each one has to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boen_robot Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 And here's the XSLT tutorial. You can use XSLT to extract data from the XML and turn it into XHTML, but you still need server side scripting in order to turn data, posted by the user, into XML and embed it in your existing one (or save it as a new one... it depends).

ATM Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 is XSLT supported in browsers other than internet explorer, because that was my first idea, but it only worked in internet explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 all modern browsers support XSLT but only IE supports Data Islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The client only gets the (X)HTML output that way. And you are going to use such language anyway, scince you'll be building a CMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
