simple xml for website

trfrady · Nov 25, 2004

Hi guys,

I'm used to Mysql and php, but I want to try and use an xml datafeed for my site. How can I use this t-shirt xml

http://www.t-shirtking.com/xml_affiliate.xml

on a webpage?

I should be able to input any data from this xml to an html page right?

I tried

<html>
<body>

<xml id="xml_affiliate" src="xml_affiliate.xml"></xml>

<table border="1" datasrc="#xml_affiliate">

<tr>
<td><span datafld="comics"></span></td>
<td><span datafld="comics"></span></td>
</tr>

</table>

</body>
</html>
with no success on this page

http://buyersmls.com/tshirts/test.htm

all I get is an empty table.

If someone could give me real simple step by step instructions to make a simple page with that xml feed, I think I could figure it out from there.

You need to use XSLT to transform the XML into HTML. I would recommend htt

http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/default.asp

to learn about it.

I have taken a small chunk of your XML file and transformed it using XSLT:

http://www.joncurtis.com/xml_affiliate.xml

To use this download this file to your site:

http://www.joncurtis.com/htmlview.xsl

Then add the following to your XML file:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="htmlview.xsl"?>
<tshirtking_catalog>
	<product>

Hope this helps.
