The XSL solution for Internet Explorer

Another possibility to make the links active in IE is to use an XSLT style sheet in order to transform arbitrary XML tags into HTML anchors:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl" 
  xmlns:xll="http://www.w3.org/XML/XLink/0.9" 
  xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
   <xsl:template match="/">
      <HTML>
         <HEAD>
            <TITLE>Books</TITLE>
         </HEAD>
         <BODY>
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
         </BODY>
      </HTML>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="Books">
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="Book">
     <P>
       <xsl:apply-templates/> 
     </P>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="BookCover">
       <xsl:apply-templates/> 
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="html:img">
      <xsl:element name="IMG">
         <xsl:attribute name="SRC">
            <xsl:value-of select="@src"/>
         </xsl:attribute>
         <xsl:attribute name="WIDTH">
            <xsl:value-of select="@width"/>
         </xsl:attribute>
         <xsl:attribute name="HEIGHT">
            <xsl:value-of select="@height"/>
         </xsl:attribute>
         <xsl:attribute name="ALT">
            <xsl:value-of select="@alt"/>
         </xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:element><xsl:element name="BR"/>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="Title">
      <xsl:element name="A">
         <xsl:attribute name="HREF">
            <xsl:value-of select="@href"/>
         </xsl:attribute><xsl:apply-templates/>
      </xsl:element><xsl:element name="BR"/>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="Author">
      <EM>
         <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </EM><xsl:element name="BR"/>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="ISBN">
      <FONT FACE="monospace">
         <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </FONT><xsl:element name="BR"/>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="Price">
      <FONT COLOR="green">
         <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </FONT><xsl:element name="BR"/>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="ListPrice">
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="Synopsis">
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="text()">
     <xsl:value-of select="."/>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When you have read the earlier article on XSL you should have no problem understanding this style sheet. See the result in HTML. Since Microsoft's implementation in IE5 is based on the working draft version 0.9, some things can be improved by using version 1.0 recommendation features described on the next page.
