Mostly for learning and testing-purposes, I need an environment/software where I can apply XSL Transformations on websites (html).
It needs to support Sessions and Cookies because of a login required to actually reach the pages I want to transform via XSL.
The manual method aka calling the page in the browser and download it and copy into Eclipse for example, is too slow. I need an automated system.. if possible one which can call multiple pages via a script.
I know that this could be realized with a lot of coding in Java, but I hoped for a simpler solution...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
No clue why people have downed this question -_-', but I've found a sufficing solution:
Using "wget" for downloading the files and Saxon HE (NET) for actually applying the transformations. Those programs can be easily called from windows CMD :)

I've got a small experimental project on the go that uses an embedded system to show web pages.
The major draw back is that the embedded system doesn't have any form of server on it (No lovely web server languages allowed).
My current setup for testing any potential winning solution is locally (Just in a document C:/users/me/test/index.html) and then also testing it in wamp.
I've looked into using JS or JQuery but evey resource i've found only ever works when I test it within wamp, which isn't a viable solution for me.
I have a couple of questions:
Is it even possible to read an XML document without any form of
server technology?
If so, could someone post some resources please? I've found a lot of similar topics to mine, but none really cover my predicament.
If this isn't possible, are there any other technologies I could use to give the same output?
Thanks
I work for a large company with agents all over the U.S. We want to upgrade our agents to Open Source office suite (Apache Open Office) from the chaotic mismatch of different versions used now. Problem is many of our people are barely computer literate.
I need to build a menu in Html to install the proper version on their systems from a DVD I have downloaded the files onto.
I can code some Html and some java but not a lot. It would help if it were cross browser since some use Macs but most use PCs.
I have researched for days and find many references to no access from the Web bit surely there is a way to do it offline?
Thanks in Advance.
I'm not sure that HTML is really what you want here. HTML is used to create web pages, but it's not a programming language and is not well suited to executing commands or performing tasks. JavaScript is the most common programming language used in web browsers, but you will have problems accessing a user's local file system for security reasons.
The best option I can think of is to give the installers appropriate names based on OS, and include documentation that clearly explains to users what they need to do. HTML may or may not be suitable for the documentation depending on your needs.
I want to thank everyone for their help.
Do to time restraints I believe the fastest solution is to do a simple text document in several forms describing the file choices and links to the files.
This way may not be eloquent but it is efficient.
Thanks for your time.
I need to process some of files stored on the server side and display the list of files on a web page in a browser. My server is set-up on an arm-processor and it is mini(thttpd). And only support CGI script(with C) as far as I know.
So I am asking, whether with this current set-up, can I process file system on server side and display details(like file names) on a web page upon browser interaction by just plain CGI scripting using C??? I was unable to find convincing tutorials regarding this on CGI. And installing any other components on server will be difficult as it needs to be cross-compiled against arm-platform and the also system being embedded(low on memory). I am a total newbie to this scripting. So please forgive me if you found this post silly or stupid.
And also it would be nice if you help me find some good scripting tutorials.
Check out my dusty old Getting Started with CGI Programming in C. It might be difficult to find good new material on the topic these days, as most people do server-side programming with other, better tools. But things like you describe would be possible. The main concern would be security, especially if you would allow the user to delete or modify files on the server.
I'm using Aspose.Words to construct a Word Document programmatically (C#) on a server. The dynamically generated documents can be imported by clients via a web interface. Everything is great except I'm unable to generate a TOC. I've already exhausted my options with Aspose. Updating TOC fields is simply not a feature that Aspose currently supports. So... I'm open to any other viable solution even if it involves other third-party components. Automation has been ruled out because the Word Document is constructed on the server-side and Microsoft does not recommend using Automation on servers.
Can anyone suggest a solution? The optimal solution would be simply to be able to programmatically do a TOC Field Update. The solution cannot require installation of Word on the server. Are there any server-side reporting components that support this feature?
If a simple TOC Field Update solution is not available, then the next best thing would probably be the ability to programmatically construct a TOC by inspecting the Word document and extracting page numbers.
All ideas and input are welcome. I need a solution very soon.
Thanks,
Ed

BUt i can't find a way to generate it automatically without using F9 key in MS Word...
I need to
convert my Sandcastle Help File
Builder (SHFB) output that is a Web
site (HTML) to Media wiki format
Find a way to transfer/include the
converted pages directly into the
MediaWiki we have set up.
Any ideas? we have over 1000 pages of HTML files inthe Website (output of SHFB).
I thought of using a html2wiki converter ..I could think of looking around for a script to convert those 1000 pages into wiki format... that could take care of (1).
But I would still be left with the block in the last bit of the pipeline - how to feed converted pages directly into the Wiki?
Take a look at Help Server. It allows to publish .CHM / .HxS produced by any tool (including Sandcastle) on the web and provides URL-based integration API.
We use MediaWiki as well. A set of templates for it allows us to create links to class reference shared by Help Server. Some examples of such links can be found right on that page.
Note that DataObjects.Net Help web site is running on Help Server 2.X, but the newest one is 3.X (example web site is here).
I did some work with ingesting existing material from several sites into a comprehensive Wiki. It did not involve Sandcastle, but if you're dealing with HTML it shouldn't matter much. html2wiki extensions are out there, and from what I have read they can solve a lot of problems. I needed a little more control over each node in the DOM, so i used Simple HTML DOM Parser. It's in PHP and was easily dropped into Mediawiki's includes.
For creating the new pages, I ended up writing a small script that uses Mediawiki's Article class, specifically the doEdit function. this allows you to create new articles programatically, without user interaction. Of course, you'd want to be careful with this... The last thing you need is to create 1000 pages that are no good and have to be deleted. But perhaps this will help get you going.
