Right, I've got a situation where I'm working on a website which requires a basic news system (Latest News headlines on each page, news item page itself, and an archive with all headlines listed) But the site doesn't have dynamic capabilities. So I figured if I could use XML to store the data, then this would be easier than updating every single page. However, I've quickly discovered that one can't use XML Data Islands (which is exactly what I'm after really) in anything other than IE.  So is there any way of getting cross-browser integration of XML data into the HTML, as you would with a Data Island. Or any other easier method for that matter  Apologies if this sounds confusing, as I've almost confused myself! Cheers Seb |

I'm not sure what XML Data Islands are but if the site is not dynamic you can build the data in on you PC dynamically using DB to HTML technology.
Basically this takes any XML, excel, or ODBC data and parses it straight into html via a template.
Google 'db to html'
or http://www.straight2web.net - www.straight2web.net has a table generator that will import XML into a table and then build the html code against a template. ------------- New generation http://www.straight2web.net - Client Side CMS http://www.csswizard.net - CSS design wizard a fast and simple CSS library and editor |

XML Data Islands refers to ability of embedding "islands" of data inside HTML pages. These "data islands" are written in XML. Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 introduced <XML> tag which is used to create the Data Islands. A data island is an XML document that exists within an HTML page. It allows you to script against the XML document without having to load it through script or through the <OBJECT> tag ------------- www.coderewind.com Best Place to hunt for Code |
