Browsing different HTML's from one component

Using one component i need to browse several HTML files wherein depending on the need one gets the required HTML form. What are the ways to acheive this, in such a way that the HTML can be edited in the XSL to have no <head>, <body> etc tags. The tags need to be removed because when we add the component to the page the page already will consist of <head>, <body> etc tags and this will be an issue. SSI approach helps us to browse several forms in one component but the problem is again that we cant modify the html tags in the HTML file. So is there any method where i can browse several HTML forms from one component and also will be able to modify the html tags?

If I understand your question correctly, you want a component to create the HTML, HEAD and BODY tags.

Unless someone else pipes in - you can't do that ... sorta.

We have accomplished this by creating new page layouts.

The config file for pagetype configurations is:

IWHOME\local\config\lib\content_center\livesite_customer_src\etc\conf\livesite_customer\pagetype-config.xml

The new page template XSL goes here:

IWHOME\local\config\lib\content_center\livesite_customer_src\etc\classes\...

for example:

<layout id="stripped-xml-page">
   <name>Stripped XML Page</name>
   <stylesheet>com/ntrs/xsl/runtime/stripped-xml-page.page.layout.xsl</stylesheet>
   <class>com.interwoven.livesite.layout.impl.NoLayout</class>
</layout>

<!-- Do not define more than one fixed-layout until bug fixed by Autonomy -->
<layout id="fixed-layout">
   <name>NT Custom Fixed Layout</name>
   <stylesheet>com/ntrs/xsl/runtime/nt-custom-fixed-layout.page.xsl</stylesheet>
<class>com.interwoven.livesite.layout.impl.FixedLayout</class>
</layout>

our Stripped-xml-page layout:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:apply-templates select="/Page/Page_Display_Properties"/>
	</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template match="Page_Display_Properties">
		<!-- add anything you want to be on every page using this template -->
		<xsl:apply-templates mode="standard_page" select="/Page/Layout"/>
	</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template mode="standard_page" match="Layout">

		<xsl:for-each select="//ContainerProperties">
			<xsl:sort select="Top" data-type="number" order="ascending"/>
			<xsl:variable name="ComponentID" select="@ComponentID"/&gt;

			<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="/Page/ComponentData/Component[@ID = $ComponentID]"/>
		</xsl:for-each>

	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

This page layout leaves 100% of the output to the components that are appended. We use this for all sorts of pages including AJAX pages that return JSON out of LiveSite.

If this is not what you are looking for - sorry for the long winded response, hopefully it will help someone.
