how do i implement css in xsl file? i tried this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="dxsl.css"/>
<xsl:output method="html" />
but it threw the error:
XSLTProcessor::importStylesheet(): Found a top-level element link with null namespace URI
and
Warning: XSLTProcessor::transformToXml(): No stylesheet associated to this object
Your html (link tag) must be inside an xsl:template. The xsl:template must be inside an xsl:stylesheet.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" />
<xsl:template match="/*//*[1]">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="dxsl.css"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
If I understand you correctly, you wish for the output to have a particular stylesheet?
XSL is a language used to transform XML from one format to another (in a sense it's like applying a css stylesheet). What would happen in a typical use case is that you would take some xml file and use XSL to transform it, say to XHTML. In this output, you can include a stylesheet using the link element if you wanted, but XSL doesnt really make use of CSS as such. (So basically, try putting the CSS in the XSL as part of the transformation to have the XHTML output use it.)
If this is an XML document you simply need to include the reference to the XSL and it should handle the transformation for you automatically.
'link' is a HTML element and you're trying to use it as an XML one. XSL modifies input into another document. You don't use CSS in an XSL file. You insert it into an (X)HTML file and apply it there.
As another answer said, the link must be generated by the transform. Here's an example that generates a small HTML doc with link to CSS from a simple xml doc. The css path comes from the data as well.
