Using style sheets with your

XML document

The Web Companion will generate an XML-stylesheet processing

instruction with each grammar if the FileMaker CGI request includes

the –styletype and –stylehref parameters. This allows you to use

cascading style sheets (CSS) or Extensible Stylesheet Language

(XSL) documents for displaying your XML document.

The –styletype parameter is used for setting the value of the type

attribute (type=text/css or type=text/xsl).

The –stylehref parameter is used for setting the value of the HREF

attribute (href=document.css or href=document.xsl).

Here is an example of what a possible FileMaker CGI command

might look like:

http://localhost/fmpro?–db=employees.fp5&–format= –fmp_xml&–ﬁnd=&

–styletype=text/xsl&–stylehref=document.xsl

Based on this command, the Web Companion will include the

following processing instruction in the XML document:

<?xml-stylesheet type=“text/xsl” href=“document.xsl”?>

The following text is an example of a possible XSL document used

with the FMPXMLRESULT grammar. In this example, the XSL

document converts the XML document into an HTML document by

inserting HTML tags. It builds an HTML table that contains a header

row for all the field names from the METADATA element in the

FMPXMLRESULT grammar, and table rows for all the field data in

the ROW elements of the RESULTSET.

Note This is an example of XSLT that was written to work with

Internet Explorer 5.0 for Windows, not with other browsers using

later versions of XSLT.
