Hi,
The idea is to generate server-side cached copies of default-value pages
and manipulate them via DOM for individual user requests. Kind of a
client-side Javascript approach, only that I would like to apply changes
_before_ sending the page to the client.
I have looked at PHP's XML and DOM features, and it looks as if those will
allow me to manipulate XML trees before generating client-specific
output. Apart from issues that might arise from a switch to an entirely
XML-based setup (is Xforms really there yet? SQL to XML? XSLT?), I would
like to avoid the overhead of generating pages anew every time some minor
change in content or layout occurs.
Does this make sense? If yes, is there anything out there that uses
this approach? How about potential problems and trade-offs?
I'm not married to PHP, so addtional pointers and references to other
languages are most welcome.
TIA
Mike
