New page

== Using a stylesheet with XML files ==

One of the benefits of XML is that with an appropriate stylesheet, web browsers should be able to render the page as HTML.

In order to use this feature, the XML file must have a stylesheet associated with it. This can either be local to the machine the XML file resides on, or accessed via a remote URL.

A default stylesheet is provided for the cansSAS1D format at: [http://www.smallangles.net/cansas1d/1.0/cansasxml-html.xsl http://www.smallangles.net/cansas1d/1.0/cansasxml-html.xsl]

In order to use this, there must be a line in the XML data file (usually the second line, after the xml declaration itself) as follows:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="http://www.smallangles.net/cansas1d/1.0/cansasxml-html.xsl"?>

Thus the header will look something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="http://www.smallangles.net/cansas1d/1.0/cansasxml-html.xsl"?>
<SASroot version="1.0"
xmlns="cansas1d/1.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="cansas1d/1.0 http://www.smallangles.net/cansas1d/1.0/cansas1d.xsd">
<SASentry> ...

== Browser Compatibility ==

However, not all browsers will behave well as it is often seen to be a security risk having a local file referencing a remote one. Hence in some cases you must store the XSL file locally and change the URL in the header appropriately.

Below is a list of various browsers and how they behave
