Blottos XML Select-A-Wine - An Overview

Lets examine how Blottos XML Select-a-Wine works

The opening web page (1) displays a select box of years

The user selects a year and clicks the 'Search the Cellar' button.

This executes a perl script (2), createxsl.pl, which performs three functions

• extracts the year selected from the form data
• creates the xsl style sheet (3) based on the year selected
• displays a web page (4) with a link to the XML database file

Clicking the link on the web page (4) loads the XML database using the new xsl stylesheet (3) to present the finalised XML page (5)
