OXF Users:
I would like to be able to integrate with Dreamweaver
for those clients who like to make changes to pages,
even those with dynamic content. My idea is to insert
some html statements that are converted to xsl statements.
For example:
<table>
<span class="for-each" id="/customer">
<tr>
<td><span id="/first-name"/></td>
<td><span id="/last-name"/></td>
</tr>
</span>
</table>
would be transformed into:
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="/customer">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="first-name"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="last-name"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
so that when it is finally transformed with the xml
data, it has saved a step of writing the xsl and
the website owners feel like they have a little better
handle on things.
Well, you can tell me if you think this approach is
reasonable. There are a lot of issues with
using <span> , class and id attributes.
However, my first problem is that I cannot get
oxf to transform the xhtml into xsl, even though
it works on the xalan command line:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/01/xforms";
xmlns:d="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/document";
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<xsl:output method="xml"/>
<xsl:template match="/xhtml:html">
<xsl:element name="xsl:stylesheet" >
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The above creates an xsl doc on the command line, but is
blank or I get the default template behavior. I want to
be able to do this on the fly.
Happy to post with attachments a simple setup if anyone
thinks this is a worthwhile approach.
Thanks for any ideas,
