The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can you format XML data on the fly?

Asked by georgep7 in Extensible Markup Language (XML), Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT)

Hi, i have the following asp file that connects to a database, extracts records and generates xml data - I wish to format this data on the fly, so I tried this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="xmlstyle.xsl"?>

<DATA>

... connect to database here and extract records....

<%for i=1 to 10%>
&lt;Record&gt;
&lt;Number&gt;<%=theNumber(i)%>&lt;/Number&gt;
&lt;Date&gt;<%=theDate(i)%>&lt;/Date&gt;
&lt;/Record&gt;
<%Next%>

&lt;/DATA&gt;

the xmlstyle.xsl is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">

<html>
<body>

  <table>
  <xsl:for-each select="DATA/Record">
  <tr>
  <td><xsl:value-of select="Number" /></td>
  <td><xsl:value-of select="Date" /></td>
  </tr>
  </xsl:for-each>
  </table>

</body>
</html>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

What I end up with is this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="xmlstyle.xsl"?> <DATA> <Record> <Number>100</Number> <Date>Dec-2008</Date> </Record> <Record> <Number>300</Number> <Date>Jan-2008</Date> </Record> <Record> <Number>500</Number> <Date>Dec-2008</Date> </Record> <Record> <Number>1000</Number> <Date>Feb-2008</Date> </Record> <Record> <Number>566</Number> <Date>Mar-2008</Date> </Record> <Record> <Number>566</Number> <Date>Apr-2008</Date> </Record> <Record> <Number>244</Number> <Date>Apr-2008</Date> </Record> <Record> <Number>12</Number> <Date>May-2008</Date> </Record> <Record> <Number>600</Number> <Date>Dec-2008</Date> </Record> <Record> <Number>100</Number> <Date>Aug-2008</Date> </Record> </DATA>

there is no formatting of the XML. When I copy this into a new page and run it in a browser it shows the correct formatting - what do I need to do to have the xml render correctly? ThanksStart Free Trial
