[XML4Lib] server-side XML and XSLT

[Houghton,Andrew]

If you have a Windows 2003 server, then you probably have the .NET framework installed.  You can use ASP.NET to transform any data source on the server, with XSLT, into HTML.  Depending upon how you coded your current HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML and XSLT's this could be a relatively easy transition.

	Hello,
	
	   I'm working on a project that consist on publishing, in HTML, research guides of my colleagues librarians. The main documents are in XML : we use XSLT stylesheets to transform it in HTML. The transformations are done on the client-side... with some mitigated results : browsers are not consistent with the way they deal with XSLT-CSS-Javascript and XML. Now i'm starting to think that we should do the transformations on the server-side : that way we just serve pure html to the client.
	I'm sorry for this naive question but, what do I need to do that sort of work on the server-side. A year ago I used Saxon on command-line to deal with MARCXML and FRBR but that's it : I'm a real beginner in the XML technologies... Here we have a Window 2003 server with no database for our web site. Do I need a database to store the xml files ? Do I have to install an XSLT processor on the server ?... 
	
	Thanks
	Pierre Nault
