I have a text data (CSV) file that needs to be converted into a static HTML page for user viewing. In the HTML page, the user needs to be able to filter the data into views. Each HTML file will be archived.I plan to use JavaScript for the user filtering functions. I plan to use a Perl script to convert the CSV file into an HTML file and include a form on the top of it for the user filter options. The HTML file will reference the JavaScript file.My questions are:[*]I'm considering converting the data into an XML instead. Is this better practice?[*]If so, is it possible to have web forms in XML and run javascript functions?[*]I have a CSS for the HTML file. Do I have to use XSLT for XML?[*]Is there a way of combining XML and HTML into single file? Any benefit in this?
