How it works: XML + XSLT = HTML in your web browser.


Website:

Getting started with adx:
- Download and unzip latest adx_addressbook.xml_vX.XX.zip file from http://adx.elektronengehirn.net (hosted on SourceForge)
- Load addressbook.xml in a modern web browser (see known issues below if it doesn't work out of the box). 
- Click on a entry to show details for this contact
- Most entries in contact details are clickable (e.g. direct calling phone numbers via Skype, address lookup in Google Maps, etc.) 
- To add contacts just edit addressbook.xml in a text/xml editor of your choice.


Supported web browsers:
- basically all modern web browsers are supported (Chrome/Chromium, Firefox, IE, Safari). But for certain browsers there are security restrictions (see known issues below).

Known issues for web browsers:
- Google Chrome and Chromium: 
  Version 5+ do not work locally (only online). This is a security design decision by the Chromium developers.
  Workaround: Chrome/Chromium needs to be started with command line param 'allow-file-access-from-files' (http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=47416)
- IE: changing a security option may needed to get started

Requirements for web browsers:
- Support for XML/XSLT and JavaScript enabled
- Minimum versions needed: Chromium/Chrome (all)?, Firefox 3+, Opera 9+, Safari 3+, IE 6+ (6 and 7 with limitations e.g. text links instead of icons because embedded images are not suppported in IE 6 and 7)
- While browser versions mentioned were tested at least once, for latest release only following browser were actively tested (under Ubuntu): Chromium 34 and Firefox 31
If you encounter any browser issues please let me know.
