Lab 6A

Converting to HTML in the Browser

Instructions

• Look at this XML file, lab6a.xml, delivered directly from the server without manual conversion to HTML.

• The conversion is done in the browser itself, under control of lab6a.xsl and lab6a.dtd (empty -- in this lab, we don't bother to validate).

• Note that the displayed book catalog is actually the combination of two XML files. The second one is lab6a1.xml.

• Download these four files (lab6a.dtd, lab6a.xml, lab6a.xsl, and lab6a1.xml.)

• Create another XML file containing a single book, and add it to the "master" catalog. That is, displaying lab6a.xml should combine lab6a.xml, lab6a1.xml, and your new XML file.

• Modify lab6a.xsl so that a third column is displayed, showing the publisher. Use a pretty background color.
