The base reason for "namespace" support in any code based language is to reduce name collisions.
so if you want an xml element named ECustom and so do I we can't use them both in a single document. However if we add a namespace then they become
VSush.ECustom
and
led-mike.ECustom
So now they are two different elements and both can be used in a single document without ambiguity.

Adding to led mike's answer,
Preventing name collisions is the major reason for using namespaces. Nevertheless, the grouping of names for a specific purpose is a pleasant side-affect of this. Thus, for example, you can have elements that refer to schemas, html, xslt and xml in the same document.

Hi ALL,
QUESTION: 1
___________
I have an XML file in which I've put an Image data inline, like the following.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Data xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes"
dt:dt="bin.base64">/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAAsHCAkIBwsJCQkMCwsNEBoREA8PECAXGBMaJiIo
KCYiJSQqMD0zKi05LiQlNUg1OT9BREVEKTNLUEpCTz1DREH/2wBDAQsMDBAOEB8RER9BLCUs

qVdNjhGg6Io+FdVVByFHypUq2ZP/2Q==</Data>
I am able to show the image in the HTML file like this.
<HTML>
<BODY>
<img src="data:image/gif;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAAsHCAkIBwsJCQkMCwsNEBoREA8PECAXGBMaJiIo

qVdNjhGg6Io+FdVVByFHypUq2ZP/2Q=="/>
</BODY>
</HTML>
But, I'd like to bring the inline image data from XML to HTML. I am able to do this for normal text data, something like this:
<html>
<body>
<xml id="cdcat" src="cd_catalog.xml"></xml>
<table border="1" datasrc="#cdcat">
<tr>
<td><span datafld="ARTIST"></span></td>
<td><span datafld="TITLE"></span></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Since I'm a newbie to XML, kindly bear if you feel this a silly question.
QUESTION: 2 - Inline Video data
_________________________________
I've embedded a Windows Media Player and able to play a .WMV file, like this:
<html>
<body>
<embed width="320" height="290" src="video.wmv"
autostart="True"
showcontrols="True" showstatusbar="False"
showdisplay="False" autorewind="True">
</embed>
</body>
</html>
How to make the Base64 encoded video data inline.
Kindly bear this lengthy question.
Thanks in advance,

It didn't work for me either using IE 6. The following information is interesting:
http://dean.edwards.name/weblog/2005/06/base64-ie/[^]
I believe IE 6 or less needs assistance to display base64! Other browsers don't have this problem.

Yeah his image data is not valid. The one in the dean.edwards blog entry is valid and works in Firefox.

What does "assistance" mean, an ActiveX control?

In the dean.edwards blog, he is using a server-based script and javascript to "correct" the base64 data to display in IE6. He presents some different approaches to solve the problem.

I'm really sorry for giving an invalid image data. Now I got the stuff using XSL. This is how I did. The XML file(say, img.xml) contains the image data inline.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="img.xsl"?>

Now I'd like to use the same stuff for INLINE AUDIO/VIDEO data, so that the entire information would be in a single XML file.
Since IE is not supporting this Base64 encoding, I need to know how to make this IE compliant. I hope it's possible by means of Java Script. But I haven't worked on Java Script. If you have any idea, kindly share with me and let me know the importance of Embedding Inline Binary data in XML.

I encoded a .wmv file in to base64 format and placed as a tag in XML.
Is there any way to play that encoded video file in the browser's embeded player( any player ) ?
Which player is encoded video compatible ?
I used base64 encoding for jpg file. it is working properly. i can view the encoded jpg file in the browser. In the same way is there any possbility to play the encoded video file in the browser ?
Which encoding is optimal for video ?
What is the role of CODEC in video encoding ?
Karthik M
|
|
|
|

No. You can't really do that. All you havwe done is ASCII encoded the binary data and potentially added a massive overhead to the processing. You cant just past such an encoded object to a video player and it can work out what to do with it. I personally would never encode video data into base64 and then embedd it in XML. That is asking for trouble.

Can anybody help in getting the node name and node value from a XML to two arrays
that is nodename in one array and node value in another array. even if there is no value for a particular node then also the array of the nodename should be there in one array and the other array should be empty.

If its C# you are working in, then just deserialise the XML document into a standard POCO (Plain old CLR object) and then run a loop on it to take all the data you want out and place it into an Array (or Generic List).

Hi All,
We need any tool/any code suggestion that can generate report of around 6lacs (or More) pages and the format of the report will be of letter.
Currently we are working with xml and xslt but we want some good replacement of this as our client dont want xml and xslt.
Information:
View : Web Based
Database : Oracle 10G
Front End Technology : ASP.NET and ASP
Note: Crystal Report is also not performaing well in this case.
Suggested Solution must provide:
1) Faster Report Generation
2) Flexible Formating options
3) Export and Import of repots for other popular formats
Any one please help.

Then let the client do it themselves thier own way. If they want you to do it they don't tell you "how" to do it.
hiraljv wrote: 1) Faster Report Generation
Faster than what?
hiraljv wrote: 3) Export and Import of repots for other popular formats
Import a report? Never heard of that, normally you import the "data" used in the report, you don't import the report.

I have an existing application I'm trying to support, and am having some troubles. I'm not too familiar with XML/XSL. Here's the situation.
I am trying to put a value from a querystring into a hidden form element using xsl. where the url is object.asp?candidateID=285
there is an asp file that looks like it creates the xml file. Inside that file there is this code:
for each item in request.queryString
proc.addParameter cstr(item), cstr(request.queryString(item))
next
I'm assuming this creates an xml object somewhere that I can reference.
Inside my xsl file I am trying to reference it this way:
But it is not returning a value.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. It's driving me nuts...
|
|
|
|
|
The XSL is not going to be able to read that. You should try something like:
<input type="hidden" name="candidateID">
<xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="@candidateID" />
</xsl:attribute>
</input>

If not entertaining, write your Congressman.

|
|
|
|
When I view the source this is al I get.
So for some reason it's not picking up the value from the url.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, it's selecting @candidateID. That would have to be an attribute of the current node. I have no idea what the current node is when this code is run. You really just have to check the code before it to see where the XSL processor is in regards to the XML file. If you need help, you can always post more of your XSL and a sample of the XML you're parsing.

the xml looks like this:
- <survey id="DFSCRFKPY5dAM4UJAIP1" style="/adeptiv/survey/assets/templates/none.xsl">
<name>Test2
<description>
- <questions>
<question id="a3eDT0NR7ZcYYKRNQ05d" type="field" number="1" depth="1" required="false" value="How old are you" answer="">
- <question id="FNDL0YhGVg5aK3PZdOb6" type="pulldown" number="2" depth="1" required="false" value="Where do you live" answer="">
PA
VT
- <question id="X2M7aO1D4b1RMcSXWQB4" type="radio" number="3" depth="1" required="false" value="how important is Apple Pie?" answer="">
1
2
3
4
5
So I don't even see the candidateID in there.
The xml is being generated by and asp page. which contains this code:
set selection = xmlDoc.selectSingleNode(path)
if typename(selection) <> "Nothing" then
style = selection.text
set xslDoc = load(style)
xsltDoc.stylesheet = xslDoc
set proc = xsltDoc.createProcessor()
proc.input = xmlDoc
for each item in request.queryString
proc.addParameter cstr(item), cstr(request.queryString(item))
next
for each item in request.form
proc.addParameter cstr(item), cstr(request.form(item))
next
for each item in request.serverVariables
proc.addParameter cstr(lcase(item)), cstr(request.serverVariables(item))
next
I was thinking because it looks like it loops through the query string, it should be creating something in the xml that I could reference. I just don't see it.
Thanks so much for looking at this!
