Good afternoon <or insert more appropriate time of day> Recently, after the pursuit of a site that does conform to XHTML 1.1 and CSS2, I became very interested in the XSL/XSLT language, since my site has a XML CMS back end already. I began to look at ways to cut out the PHP step. My experimentations have proved to be very interesting, with 2 caveats:
1.) Obviously 2 pass processing doesn't work. Catching PHP embedded in the source XML becomes impossible. At this time, I don't have a fix for this. 2.) Firefox (in fact all gecko based browsers) do not support my method of embedding HTML in XML... results are interesting, but expected. Opera doesn't like this method at all, and IE6 displays perfectly. Since this list is standards based, and I've yet to see any real writeup about XSLT and what it is capable of, I figured a would share what I found with all of you. More information about what I did is available here: http://jtsage.com/apathy/archives/2004/12/08/xslt-part-1/ and here: http://jtsage.com/apathy/archives/2004/12/09/xslt-part-2/ If anyone has any information on how to fix #2, I'd also love to hear it. Hope this proves to be a good read! ~j -- Jonathan T.
