[xsl] Calling xslt templates from asp
Subject: [xsl] Calling xslt templates from asp From: "Andrew Mottershead" <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2002 15:45:58 -0000 |
Hello there folks, I'm putting together a web app using xslt. As there are no good wysiwyg xhtml editors out there YET nad the visual xslt tools are very limiting we are currently designing the front end in Dreamweaver html - converting this to xhtml via HTMLTidy - then using this as the starting point for our XSLT templates. Which means that visual tweeks have then to be done by hand by the programmer and not the designer and take a lot of time. I've been playing around with the idea of using asp pages for the front end with calls to xslt to create the data driven aspects of the app. So, for example, an asp template using normal HTML markup would have regions within the <% %> tags which call standard xslt stylesheets via variables eg type="textarea", xpath="/node/item" width="45" and so on. This call would then be replaced with the results of a XSLT tranform (we'd have to create templates for the different items to be called) so when rendered in the asp is replaced with a textarea html element. The designer would then be able to work with the html layout without having to learn or even be aware of the underlying xslt. We could even create dreamweaver extensions with a dialogue so they enter all the correct parameters. Now - has this already been done using asp (it does not need to be in dreamweaver just asp)? If so does anyone know whether this is documented on the www or does anyone have any ideas on this - at the moment this is just an idea as we are looking at ways of speeding up the development process? regards Andrew Mottershead Web Developer Mindstream Web Design email: andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx tel: +44 (0)1743 718262 fax: +44 (0) 7092 115513 web: www.mindstream.co.uk This e-mail, and any attachment, is confidential.
