external entities, browsers, images

[shawn modersohn]

I got,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!-- Insert GPL copyright notice here -->
<!-- <?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="exhibits.css"?> -->
<!DOCTYPE exhibits PUBLIC "-//ShawnModersohn.//DTD
graphicalOpenExchange//EN" "exhibits.dtd">
<!-- Begin exhibit entity declarations -->
<exhibits>
&template;
</exhibits>

exhibits.dtd pulls in parts from an exhibit.dtd. &template is declared
in exhibits.dtd and represents many individual files describing images.

Seeing text output claiming validity is not as satisfying as seeing all
the documents pulled together and displayed in a browser. This will
primarily be a web application front end so I imagine I will go through
an XSL process eventually. But in the meantime, are there any browsers
or projects that display external entities as I am using them.

Also, I am using the html namespace to force the display of the gifs,
pngs, etc. (which works as long as there are no external entities
imported into the document) Is there a better way? Thanks for any help.

Well shit, I checked this out at a windows machine from work and I'll be
damned if IE doesn't do exactly as I want. Sucks because I use Linux but
nonetheless credit due to Microsoft on this one.

So the question now is, does anyone know of any linux solutions to this
problem?

Moving the processing (XML parsing & XSLT) to the server and sending the
HTML output to the browser.

I haven't got quite that far, I was hoping for more of a client side
solution. Might as well forge ahead though. Thanks.
