XLink is used to create hyperlinks in XML documents. Show
XLink Browser SupportThere is no browser support for XLink in XML documents. However, all major browsers support XLinks in SVG. XLink SyntaxBelow is a simple example of how to use XLink to create links in an XML document: To get access to the XLink features we must declare the XLink namespace. The XLink namespace is: "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink". The xlink:type and the xlink:href attributes in the The xlink:type="simple" creates a simple "HTML-like" link (means "click here to go there"). The xlink:href attribute specifies the URL to link to. XLink ExampleThe following XML document contains XLink features:
Example explained:
XLink - Going FurtherIn the example above we have demonstrated simple XLinks. XLink is getting more interesting when accessing remote locations as resources, instead of standalone pages. If we set the value of the xlink:show attribute to "embed", the linked resource should be processed inline within the page. When you consider that this could be another XML document you could, for example, build a hierarchy of XML documents. You can also specify WHEN the resource should appear, with the xlink:actuate attribute. XLink Attribute Reference
XPointer
XPointer Browser SupportThere is no browser support for XPointer. But XPointer is used in other XML languages. XPointer ExampleIn this example, we will use XPointer in conjunction with XLink to point to a specific part of another document. We will start by looking at the target XML document (the document we are linking to):
Note that the XML document above uses id attributes on each element! So, instead of linking to the entire document (as with XLink), XPointer allows you to link to specific parts of the document. To link to a specific part of a page, add a number sign (#) and an XPointer expression after the URL in the xlink:href attribute, like this: xlink:href="https://dog.com/dogbreeds.xml#xpointer(id('Rottweiler'))". The expression refers to the element in the target document, with the id value of "Rottweiler". XPointer also allows a shorthand method for linking to an element with an id. You can use the value of the id directly, like this: xlink:href="https://dog.com/dogbreeds.xml#Rottweiler". The following XML document contains links to more information of the dog breed for each of my dogs:
How do you link XML and HTML?a) Simply linking your Xml file
You can link to your Xml file from a Html page by using Server Side Includes. If your Webserver is configured to allow this feature (this is usually disabled for security reasons) all you need to do is to rename your Html page to . shtml and add the server side include command.
How do you add an HTML tag to an XML file?There are two solutions. If you know the data will be well formed XML, include it directly. The other, an better option, is to include the HTML in a CDATA section within an element within the XML.
Can we use HTML tags in XML?When displaying data in HTML, you should not have to edit the HTML file when the data changes. With XML, the data can be stored in separate XML files. With a few lines of JavaScript code, you can read an XML file and update the data content of any HTML page.
How do you display XML tags in HTML?To view raw XML source, try to select "View Page Source" or "View Source" from the browser menu. Note: In Safari 5 (and earlier), only the element text will be displayed. To view the raw XML, you must right click the page and select "View Source".
