general question RE XML data conversion to XHTML and to PDF

hi there,

after having read a couple of books on XML and tons from the web i have an
understanding of XML and also XSL.

however - i need help at a basic level...

we have a table in a DB - i need to be able to create an XHTML form to be
able to add a new record to the table. this will obviously be shown in a
browser.

we also need to be able to print out a paper form which also contains all
the fields in the table with boxes for the users to fill in (by pen).

we are able to extract the details of the table from the DB using PHP.

now - is this a good way forward?

extract the data to an XML file based on my own schema.
use one stylesheet and an XSLT processor to create an XHTML file for the
browser.
use a different stylesheet to create an FO file - which then gets converted
to a PDF file using FOP.

we have dozens of forms to handle this way so we are looking for an
automated way of doing things.

thanks,

kev bailey

Hi, I'm in the process of setting up content negotiation on the server for my website, and I have set it up so that UAs will either recieve application/xhtml+xml or text/html, depending on their support. Does anybody know where I can get a freely available XSLT file, or other conversion program (or a dreamweaver extension) that can convert from XHTML 1.1 (for application/xhtml+xml) to (X)HTML 1.0/4.01 Strict (for text/html), so I can...

Not looking for a special or fancy css stylesheet. For a HTML beginner, stylesheet is still far away from now. Not even said thinking about cross browser. But, an XHTML page without stylesheet look ugly. SO, I am looking for a "cross browser" "general" stylesheet that can be apply to a general HTML page.

Forgive me if I am posting to wrong newsgroup and for a couple of loaded questions. First, from what I understand, one of the advantages of XHTML/CSS is the ability of screen readers/braille agents to provide an improved experience than HTML with table layout. Notwithstanding the leadership of Chevrolet, Amnesty International and others, at what point do you think XHTML/CSS will become the preferred approach? Will it be when the number...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
