Replacing HTML elements?

[fifthcadence]

Hi,

How can I use a XSL stylesheet for input 'blah' to output the HTML element iframe?

Thanks,

this depends upon whether 'blah' is xml, because xsl stylesheets usually work on xml files.

If you could describe your problem in more detail, I might even be able to say something more helpful.

I suppose it will be a XML stylesheet.

I'm completely new at this field, so I won't know how to describe my problem. Any code that you suggest, I will try.

[Dormilich]

then let's start with the beginning. What does your input look like?

I don't know how to write the input...

then one step back, what input content do you have? (once you know what you have and what you need, you can design the xml)

[fifthcadence]

If it was simply an 'iframe', what would its output be? May I see an example?

though I doubt that this will solve the problem, it may demonstrate how it is done in general (that’s only one possibility)

// xsl headers
<xsl:template match="$content"> 
// $content = the element in your xml file that contains what you want to put in the iframe
<iframe>
  <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</iframe>
</xsl:template>

if you want to read from an iframe you have to make sure the source documents are at least well-formed xhtml.

PS xhtml to xhtml transformation is (in general) described here.
