Image DTD Declaration

[Scriptbanger]

:o Wow, searched all through the forums. This must be so simple nobody even needs to ask about it [except me]. What is the proper [or appropriate] DTD declaration to get an image to show up?

Thanks -

It would help if you posted the current code you have. An image should show up no matter unless of course you are getting the filename wrong.

[Scriptbanger]

Sorry 'bout that. Here is my code. The text shows up but the images [and the html bold tags] don't.

DTD:

<!ELEMENT NEWS ANY>
<!ELEMENT HEADLINE (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT BYLINE (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT AUTHOR (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT DATE (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT STORY (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT IMAGES (#PCDATA)>

Shouldn't that be <!DOCTYPE NEWS SYSTEM "index.dtd"> ?

[Scriptbanger]

Yup. I was working with an XML example and forgot to change that. It's fixed now but apparently didn't make any difference. The page still displays the same.

Fixed XML:

Is it outputting HTML? What's the output, post-transformation, look like? What content type is it served with?

What CSS styles the end result?

[Scriptbanger]

Is it outputting HTML?

No. HTML markup is being ignored.


What's the output, post-transformation, look like?

The output display is correct as per the XSL except that the images aren't showing up and the HTML markup is being ignored.


What content type is it served with?

:confused: Not sure what is meant here. Right now it is just a static XML page with attached DTD and XSL.


What CSS styles the end result?

The styles are set by the XSL.

Hopefully I answered your questions correctly. I appologize if I seem a little ignorant. I am new to XML. I don't have a problem doing my homework but I can't seem to find anything on inserting a plain, static image into a simple XML document. Everything seems to be about creating Dynamic and/or Ajax slideshows and media presentations. If anyone knows of a good, basic XML tutorial that covers working with simple graphics and images I would be tremendously grateful and . . . I could quit bugging you all. :D

Have you tried putting your tags in lowercase? I do believe XML needs to be all lowercase.

[Scriptbanger]

Changed it all to lowercase. Still the same output.

Maybe I am entirely on the wrong track. Let's try a different question.

I need to put a static image into an XML document. What's the simplest way to do that?

No, it doesn't. The only case requirement is for the elements to be consistent in their case (including in XSLTs and DTDs if they exist).

[Alex Vincent]

Scriptbanger, can you save the post-transformation results to a file and post the contents of that file here? I have a sneaking suspicion your IMAGE elements are being treated as vanilla XML, without any appropriate styling to tell the browser to render an actual image.

[zcorpan]

<img xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" src="foo.png" alt=""/>

[Scriptbanger]

I tried zcorpan's code with the same results [no images].

Alex Vincent. I hope this is what you meant. I saved the output in a pdf format. As you can see, I can alter the text but images [and HTML] dont show.

[Alex Vincent]

*sigh* No. Can you post a link to the sample XML file as it goes through transformation?
