Anyone know if you can have Applescript create HTML. I would like to
have an applescript create an HTML page. Has anyone tried this?
Some products that we market include a cgi-based help and
remote-browsing system which generates loads of html from scratch.
Maybe, if you have to make more than a few pages by script, you might
considering using the same framework as we do: we use Smile and its
XML commands (a free environment). With XML you make xhtml (or some
weaker xml-compatible form of html actually), and can use a DOM
(document object model) on your page.
For instance the script below will load a pre-made page, suppress all
table rows which include "admin" in their name, and return the html
as text (utf-8, by default).
--------- untested
set themodelpage to alias "blah:blah"
set thexml to xmlroot xmlopen themodelpage
set theadminrows to xmlxpath thexml with "//tr[contains(@name, 'admin')]"
xmlremove theadminrows
set thepage to xmldisplayxml thexml
xmlclose thexml -- leak police might be watching
return thepage
