Need help with XML...

[dcruz]

For my amusement and at the same time attempting to learn XML, I have
a written a simple dictionary webpage. The user enters a word and and
clicks on the find button. The webpage should search the XML file and
if found populates the webpage with the definition of the word. I
have written the webpage and the XML file. But I am stuck with the
searching part. I can not figure this out. How do I get the webpage
to search the XML file and populate the webpage?

Thanks for your,

You can use XSLT with a <param name="query"/> in the beginning, and then
use e.g. PHPs xslt_process
(http://ch.php.net/manual/en/function.xslt-process.php) to give $query a
value. By doing so, you can use $query in the stylesheet to select the
right parts of the XML file.

HTH.
