Html-widget with XML

Author: roger.wallin@abilita.fi (rogerw)

Hi, Some quick tests gave me the following issue; Having a XML-file and a XSL-file, I cant get the (styled) XML showing up in the HTML-widget. Removing the styling, I can see the xml-structure. It's also possible to see a jpg or some ordinal web-page in the widget. The styled XML shows correct in a browser, so I suppose there is some problem with the path.... I have tried with a path to the xsl and also putting the xsl into the working directory, then removing the path of the xsl in the xml-file. (I haven't tested putting the xsl on a http-path).

Hi,  perhaps it's not that obvious for this to work, ie. the html-widget supporting xml with xsl. I'll probably have to use the OcxContainer, where I know having done this before. Or? Regards RogerW.

Hi RogerW, May be a security problem with CEF (used by HTML widget) . Check log in developpement tools (ctrl+shift+i) .Cry Gilles.

Hi,  I found out that I can use "USYSXSLT".XMLTRANSFORM to transform my xml (xsl) to eg. html and show it in the html-widget. Regards RogerW.

Hi Gilles and others, I saw your response, but didn't fully understandConfused. However, I have now managed to get my xml+xsl into the html-widget as html. Next step is to make a pdf-file of the html. I have managed to do that using the spawn-command with some of the many HtmlToPdf-programs out there. I have also seen some discussions in the forum about CEF1 and CEF3, but I have to admit I hadn't heard about the concept before. It would be interesting to know whether I can use CEF to produce a pdf-file more directly from the html-widget? Regards RogerW.
