[sw-l] SWML questions and comments

[Stuart Thiessen]

Hi! A few comments on your information there. I'm using Mac OS X Safari 
browser 1.2.3 (v125.9).

I tried signoskriben.xml, but it only came up with

http://signbank.org/signpuddle/SGN-US/image.php?build=,,,.

I also tried swml_kontrolo.xml, but only came up with

01-01-001-01-02-05  02-03-002-01-01-05   01-01-007-01-03-09  
02-02-001-01-02-01  01-01-007-01-03-01  02-02-001-01-02-01   
08-04-001-01-01-01

I tested the same thing on Firefox 0.9.2 and got these results:

signoskriben.xml showed the contents of the xml file with the caption: 
"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated 
with it. The document tree is shown below."

swml_kontrolo.xml came up with the symbols with the gloss underneath, 
each sign and gloss separated by a horizontal rule.

Explorer 6.0.2800.1106IC came up with basically the same thing but 
signoskriben.xml had some formatting of the xml file itself.

I assume signoskriben.xml is only used in conjunction with 
swml_kontrolo.xml to do the conversion?

Thanks,

Stuart
