random stylesheets

[Jonathan Coe <jo...@onemind.com>]

Is it possible for an xml file to choose its stylesheet at random?  perhaps
using an xsp solution?  i'd like to do a site that works similar to
www.davidbowie.com (hit refresh several times) - same content, different
looks and styles.  i realise a server redirect or javascript solution could
work to achieve the same effect, but i'd like to contain everything in the
xml doc. if at all possible.

cheers,
JC

SV: random stylesheets

[Pål Wester <pa...@florence.never.no>]

Have several stylesheets called: stylesheet1.xsl -> sylesheet10.xsl,
then try this:

<xsp:logic>
	int random = (Math.random()*10)+1;
</xsp:logic>
<xsp:pi target="xml-stylesheet">
                href="stylesheet<xsp:expr>random</xsp:expr>.xsl"
                type="text/xsl"
</xsp:pi>


Math.random isn't the best thing to use to get real-randomness,
so you should use something else... but this is just as an example.
