 his
class extends the previous XML class by means of a practical example
that introduces many of the tools that enable XML and XSL to create
Web pages. Note that all examples work only in Internet Explorer 5
or above
and will fail in Netscape (they have not yet been tested in Netscape 6).
What You Will Learn
pecifically, this class explains how XML and XSL work together to create
Web pages, shows you the structure and rationale for the syntax of XML and
XSL, illustrates the different approaches for creating Web pages, and
explains the commands we will use in a specific example: a Web based
purchase order program.
Major topics covered in this class include the following:
- The relationship between
HTML, JavaScript, XML, XSL, and XPATH
- The process of converting XML to HTML or to other
examples of XML using HTML, JavaScript, XSL, and XPATH
- Simple examples of converting XML to HTML using
HTML and JavaScript
- The syntax and processing of XPATH expressions
- How to use XPATH expressions in XSL
- How to use XSL to create HTML
- How to use XSL to modify or create other XML
XSL and XPATH in particular are illustrated with a large number of
examples which convert the XML produced by the purchase order program into
a variety of HTML reports and updated XML.
