SP2003 WYSIWYG XSL editor?

[Sergio Otoya]

Hi,

This may be a silly question... I have read that there is an XSL
editor in FP2003... How would I use it?.

Do I have to start with an xml file, xml schema? can I just create an
xsl file or does it need to be inside a web site, a wss site?

thanks in advance.

Hi Sergio,

With WSS and FP2003, you could actually use a XML file as a data source and
design the screen/UI as WYSIWYG.
Complete information on this is available at

While it is true that you can write XSL files in FrontPage, this is not
specifically what Sergio is asking.

In FrontPage 2003 you can use XML files, Web Services, WSS lists or Document
Libraries, and databases that stream XML data as data sources, and when you
insert a view on these sources you are in the WYSIWYG XSLT environment.

You do need to be authoring against a Windows SharePoint Services site,
because the XSLT view is a web part that requires the SharePoint code, but
if you have SharePoint, you can just drag an XML file onto a new page in
FrontPage and see what I mean.

In code view you can easily view and edit the XSLT, and you can also use all
of the FrontPage tools to WYSIWYG your XSLT - like add conditional
formatting, tables, dynamic content, etc.
