My scenario is barely an application ;) I want to be able to use the example list of books in the web site tutorial 'w3schools' and create a demonstration of xquery. The desired result is an xhtml web page that features a simple menu list using an html form element 'select'. A user selects a book title, then further meta-data (author, publisher etc. that is stored as the xml document "database") appears in another web page. So far, 'jedit' with the xml plug-ins (xquery, xml, xslt) activated has been used and an xhtml page was created by the transformation function in jedit (proving my rudimentary understanding of xpath ;) ) Originally I thought that xquery could be used like xsl; open an xml file using a web browser that refers to the xslt file that also refers to an xq file and voila, result! Unfortunately not; once I realised xquery needs a server, that led me here. So much next step is to try the various software mentioned in this thread and find out which will be the easiest for me to install and use on my old computer. Will ask again nearer the time; thanks very much! _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://x-query.com/mailman/listinfo/talk
