Will you have to go into each of the xml files to add the line: [code]<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="mystylesheet1.xsl"?>[/code] That seems so wrong. Am I missing something? Would you use a host xml or xhtml file or something to somehow reference and combine the xml and associated xslt? I just don't get it. Also, the same would hold true if I had a single xml file that I wanted to tranform using different stylesheets under different situations (mystylesheet1.xml, mystylesheet2.xml, etc..) . So each time I want to use a different stylesheet I'll havet to modify the href in the xml file? this can't be right. I'm sure I'm missing something here. I can't seem to find a tutorial or other example on the web to help me sort this out. If you know a good tutorial on this, or would like to comment yourself, I'd appreicate it. Loading...
