Start Xopus Using Hyperlink

Xopus can be directly started from another page. This is the preferred method to start Xopus since it doesn't reload the current page.

The hyperlink points to xopus.html from the Xopus distribution, with an added # marker followed by the path to either the HTML page that contains a Xopus Canvas or to the XML document. With the HTML page, Xopus will use the configuration in the page to determine the XML, XSL and XSD files to load:

<a href="pathToXopus/xopus/xopus.html#pathToMyDocuments/pageWithXopusCanvas.html">edit</a>

Instead of the HTML page, you can point directly to XML document. This method prevents the loading of an HTML file, but the configuration is limited to xml-stylesheet and schemaLocation.

<a href="pathToXopus/xopus/xopus.html#pathToMyDocuments/document.xml">edit</a>

Even though the document URL can be an absolute URL, the documents edited using Xopus must be on the same server and port number as the Xopus files. The browser doesn't allow an application from one server to access files from another server. However, this can be changed in the browser security settings.
