InfoPath How to use XML technology Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 uses a variety of XML technology, including XSLT, XML architecture, XHTML, XPATH, DOM, XML signature, and XML processors using all of the above techniques. These technologies are monitored by the World Wide Web Federation (W3C) (WWW Federation (W3C): Business and Education, the agency supervises the research work related to all areas of the World Wide Web, and promotes the launch of standards.) Management, And provide a specific rules, guidance, and conventions to obtain files that are easy to generate and process different computers and applications. In addition to the Office InfoPath 2003 support for XML technology, Office InfoPath 2003 also uses special processing instructions (processing instructions: information stored in the presence of an XML document. This information passes any application with this XML document via an XML analyzer. ) And namespace (namespace: a way to uniquely define element name and relationship to avoid name conflicts with the same name but from multiple sources.), And have a variety of access to the DOM through Office InfoPath 2003 Object Model method. Office InfoPath 2003 is based on Microsoft Windows applications for creating a form based on XML and its related techniques. Although users do not need to understand all details of XML technology, the following list can help you understand how to use these technologies in Office InfoPath 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------- Extended Markup Language (XML): A Concentrated Form of Standard Markup Language (SGML), developers available It creates a custom label to provide flexibility for organizing and providing information. XML is the output format of Office InfoPath 2003 form. XML is also used to include sample data displayed before the user fills in the form. XSL Conversion (XSLT): The language used to convert an XML document to other types of documents, such as HTML or XML. The purpose is to perform some XSL functions. XSLT is the format of the view file generated when designing a form. Office InfoPath 2003 does not support using XSL Formatting Objects (XSL-fo) to represent XML data, nor is also imported arbitrary .xsl files. XML architecture: formal specification written in XML, define the structure of the XML document, including element names and rich data types, and which elements should appear in combination, which properties have each element. The XML architecture is used as data authentication in a form (data verification: test data accuracy; can be applied to a set of rules that specify the user-entered data type and range.) The main way, and these architectures provide forms to The underlying structure of the generated XML document. In addition, the XML architecture is used to define a form definition (.xsf) file generated by Office InfoPath 2003 when design a form (form definition file: extension is the XML file named .xsf, this file contains all other files used in the form and Components information, including user interface custom, XML architecture, view, business rules, events, and deployment settings.). Office InfoPath 2003 does not support XML-Data Reduced (XDR) or Document Type Definition (DTD) to define an XML document architecture. Scalable Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML): Extension HTML and compiled it as a marker language of XML.
