Just reference the xsl from within your xml using the ?xml-stylesheet
tag. That tag includes an href which gives the path relative to your
base CGI path. Put the xsl file in the base path of your server instance
adding directories to match that href. The browser recognizes the xml,
picks out the path to the xsl and fetches it (just like it would fetch a
javascript referenced in plain html). The browser does the xml to xhtml
transformation using your xsl.

Subject: SQL2XML and CGI
Hi everyone,
Thanks to Helge and the post on Giuseppe Costagliola's SQL2XML, I'm
discovering this tool and finding it amazing!
Now, I am still very new to CGI programming, but I know XSL quite well.
At the moment, I just have an SQL2XML command that displays a physical
file in the browser in XML form. Now I want to create my XSL file. But
where do I put it? Does the path have to be described in the server
configuration file? How exactly? Can I also put the path in the XML
file?
Also, there seems to be very little interest in this tool. Anyone know
why that might be?
