Re: html templates - best practise

[Derek Hohls]

Andreas   Not sure I fully understand  - and so  I may be missing the point completely... but Cocoon, unlike many other web application systems does *not* work on a "template" system ... data is created in XML (from static and/or dynamic sources) and the presentation (HTML page layout) is handled via XSLT - it is likely that you & the designer need to agree as to what parts of his/her layout need to be encapsulated into the XSLT code and which parts will be created dynamically via Cocoon   Hope this helps - if not, you may have to supply some more concrete examples of what you are trying to achieve.   Derek >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/10/2003 11:21:06 >>> Hi,   i read a lot of tutorials and docs about cocoon and i really like it, but I still don't know, what's the best practise to handle html templates.   I get the static part of my html page from a html designer and I want to leave it untouched, so the designer can modify it later on. Of course, some place holders and template instructions should be in there, to put the dynamic part into the right place.   maybe this strict seperation( html design <-> java/xml programming) is against the philosophie of cocoon, because I understand: all required data (static+dynamic) should be put in the xml datasource with the generator and during the transformation process this data will be mixed with html(or wap or pdf) language specific parts.   so, how do you handle this? any suggestions/comments are welcome!!   thanks very much Andreas   -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
