Customizing eBrowser

Customizing the output by using XSL style sheet

Using XSL Style Sheet is deprecated but supported to ensure backwards compatibility.

When a user selects to view object details, eBrowser outputs model object data in XML format, and this data can be formatted and linked to external resources using an XSL style sheet.

The format of the XML is as follows:

<model name="model name" filename="model name.ebm" baseurl="file:///path to model file/">

<object>

<type>Object Type</type>

<tag abbr="Tag Abbreviation" name="Tag Name">Tag Value</tag>

<tag ...></tag>

</object>

</model>

Typically, you would create a style sheet that matches a certain tag abbreviation and uses the value of that tag to create a hyperlink into another system.

Programming the eBrowser ActiveX control

The ActiveX API is deprecated but supported to ensure backwards compatibility.

eBrowser is an ActiveX control and it can be embedded into web pages, other documents, and applications. Using standard script languages like Visual Basic Script and JavaScript, you can customize eBrowser even on a web page. If you are writing an application, you can use any programming language that supports ActiveX controls.

Note: ActiveX Control is only available in the licensed version of eBrowser.
