Bsic XML data include
Hi,
Is it possible to bypass XSL and include a piece of data from and XML sheet in an HTML page on load?
eg, if i had the following sheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<datasite>
<aum>
<uk update="24/03/05">?10 Billion</uk>
</aum>
</datasite>
what would be the syntax to include the '?10 Billion' in my html page?
if this is not possible what options are available to me that are as simple as possible?
Can i then link to these data from (eg) PoerPoint?
I realise these are basic questions but i cannot find information on this anywhere and would really appreciate any pointers.
Thank you, Will.
the data is in an xml file on a public web server. I am aware of DOM (?) but have been led to believe this may involve scripting on the page which i want to avoid.
I am really wanting to find a good way to include the same text data on many web pages and had thought XML was the obvious option but i am stuck!
I have managed to create the following html page: http://www.willedge.com/files/web_test.htm
This page looks at this data source: http://www.willedge.com/files/data.xml
this works ok in IE but not in firefox and i am worried that it is not a very good way of implemating a data repository. Can anyone comment on that or suggest a better approach?
Does anyone know if these types of data sources can be accesses in the same way by MS office applications?
Thanks for the help, Will.
