<xml id="cdcat" src="cd_catalog.xml"></xml>
But there's a little trick. It requires that the xml source document's name reflect the structure of the xml document. For example, below is a fragment of the source document:
<?xml ...?>
<CATALOG>
<CD>
<...
For the xml document containing this fragment of codes should be referred as "cd_catalog.xml" in the embeding html document. So below is the whole example.
The XML document containing the data:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<CATALOG>
<CD>
<TITLE>Empire Burlesque</TITLE>
<ARTIST>Bob Dylan</ARTIST>
<COUNTRY>USA</COUNTRY>
<COMPANY>Columbia</COMPANY>
<PRICE>10.90</PRICE>
<YEAR>1985</YEAR>
</CD>
<CD>
<TITLE>Hide your heart</TITLE>
<ARTIST>Bonnie Tyler</ARTIST>
<COUNTRY>UK</COUNTRY>
<COMPANY>CBS Records</COMPANY>
<PRICE>9.90</PRICE>
<YEAR>1988</YEAR>
</CD> ... </CATALOG>
The HTML document embeding the xml data:
<html>
<body>
<xml id="cdcat" src="cd_catalog.xml"></xml>
<table border="3" datasrc="#cdcat">
<tr>
<td><span datafld="ARTIST"></span></td>
<td><span datafld="TITLE"></span></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Click this link to see the live example. And as the tutorial mentioned, it seems it only functions on IE 5.0 or later version, but not functions on Firefox.
