In-Depth Information
Figure 11-6:
The Summary pages provide summaries of several of the items in the database.
From a summary page, the user is able to click the thumbnail image and select a more detailed page.
The detailed page is actually retrieved as XML and processed with an XSL stylesheet on the server to
create the detail page, a sample of which is shown in
Figure 11-7
.
Figure 11-7:
The detail page displays a larger image and additional information.
The XML approach to creating the detail page is selected primarily to illustrate the use of an updateable
ResultSet, which is displayed either as the profile shown previously or as a preloaded XML form ready
for editing. Generating the two completely different display formats from the same XML document is
made possible using XSLT to transform the XML into different HTML documents.
