urgent question

I have a very simply question regarding the RSS feed, ok if I were to create a XSL file which translate XSQL page to a RSS feed, so basically my final product will be a XSQL file instead of a XML with a <xsl:output method="xml"/> command in my XSL page?  Or this XSL page has to be able to create another stand-alone xml page?  If so, is there any hint?  Thanks

Oracle version

are we using In Oracle9i Database Release 2?  I read it from somewhere that a new feature known as SQLX, or SQLXML is included which would be potientially easier for us to create the RSS feed.  by writing a simple SQL statement with a of of the SQLX calls, a piece of XML will be created.... ummmm...... sounds interesting..

help needed regrading the html code

i have trouble with the picture which displays "the women's center of america" for our View2HTML.xsql.   since the query result only shows three columns and cuts off part of the picture.  In addition, for the title of the html page, how can i change it from 'Query results' to 'the women's center of america', the html code of <title> doesn't really work.

check this link out

My teammate John sent us the following link which I think everyone should take a look of it..http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/xsl_languages.asp

even though it's something very fundamental, it still helps a lot while doing our project..

bud, i was thinking about doing the extra work for adding the RSS and HTML. do you think you could provide me with a website with some basic RSS tutorial if possible? Thanks

MSN Messenger with XML

Guess what? I have just realized that MSN Messenger acutally uses XML format to store the converstaion history on my comptuer.  Just like what we have learned in class, for every single person you have chatted with on your MSN, the program acutally creates a XML file and this file has a line says:

<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='MessageLog.xsl'?>

and now i totally understand that it applies a style sheet named MessageLog.xsl and displays in the format that the stylesheet wants. 

Now XSLT seems a lot more fun cuz i'm acutally trying to create a new Stylesheet to transform the way the message history is displayed.  Budd I'll keep you posted with my progress. 

rationale behind today's lecture?

I have a question regrading what we have done today in class.  So we have a HTML sheet that takes all the data entered by the us and transform it into a xsql file.  then we can see what we have entered by typing 'select * from customers;' from oracle.  How does this data got entered into orcale's database?  is there a command that is embedded inside the html file which sends the data into oracle's database?  what role does that xsql file play? could someone please help me? thanks

question regrading style sheet

for xsl:import and xsl:include, both of them load external stylesheet. however, for xsl:includes only part of the external stylesheet as part of the current stylesheet. but how do you define the area where you want to stop applying the external stylesheet?  is it possible to import two different stylesheets into different parts of the the current stylesheet?  if so what's the command?
