XML Feeds / XSLT

  • October 20, 2009

Hi, I need to embed an XML feed in a website and understand that I need to learn XSLT ...which is completely new to me.  The feed looks something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

- <WholeBodyList>
- <WholeBody>
<Title>Blood</Title>
</WholeBody>
- <WholeBody>
<<Title>Joints</Title>
</WholeBody>
</WholeBodyList>
I had hoped that using a standard RSS reader (such as Google gAjax RSS Feeds) and CSS would be sufficient ....but this failed!
I would be very grateful if someone could put me in the right direction ....even if I need to climb a sharp learning curve to learn XSLT.
Many thanks
Simon

Correct answer jon8

I was going to post a bunch of code, and thought this link would help you more than anything....

http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/tryxslt.asp?xmlfile=cdcatalog&xsltfile=cdcatalog

It shows an xml data example, the XSLT that was used to use it in html, and a sample results below the two.  Hope that helps!

How do you need to display the XML in the site?

Thanks Jon for the link and your help.  I am very grateful.

I did find the following article which has also been a great help:

I didn't realise that dreamweaver 8 included such functionality!

Best wishes

Simon
