Displaying XML data with XSLT
Last updated 3/28/2012
3. Attach an XML data source to the page (if you haven’t already done so).
The XML file that you attach must reside in the same directory as the XSLT page.
4. Bind your XML data to the XSLT page.
5. Display XML data by binding the data to the entire XSLT page.
6. If appropriate, add a Repeating Region XSLT object to the table or table row that contains the XML data
placeholder(s).
7. Attach the XSLT page to the XML page.
8. Post both the XML page and the linked XSLT page to your web server.
9. View the XML page in a browser.
When you do so, the browser transforms the XML data, formats it with the XSLT page, and displays the styled page in
the browser.

Creating entire XSLT pages and displaying data
You must use an entire XSLT page for client-side transformations. (XSLT fragments don’t work for this type of
transformation.) Follow these general steps for creating, binding XML data to, and formatting XSLT pages for client-
side transformations:
1. Create the XSLT page.
2. Display data in the XSLT page.
3. Display repeating elements in the XSLT page.
