XML Single-Record Binding Using XML Data Islands
To see how to bind HTML elements to an XML data island, I'll write an example. In this case, I'll add a data island for ch08_03.xml with the ID of customers to a new Web page, like this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
Single Record Binding Using XML Data Islands
</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<XML SRC="ch08_03.xml" ID="customers"></XML>
.
.
.
Now customers can act like a DSO, just like any other DSO (which is why data islands are called data islands). I can bind this DSO to assorted HTML elements, as we've already seen in this chapter:
<XML SRC="ch08_03.xml" ID="customers"></XML>
BODY>
<CENTER>
<H1>
Single Record Binding Using XML Data Islands
</H1>
Name: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" DATASRC="#customers"
DATAFLD="NAME" SIZE=10> ...
