Applescript writing an HTML document

We have built a database in which we track our jobs. Part of each job involves posting comps to the clients section of our website. Right now this involves manually creating new HTML pages that all use the defined jobnumber from the db, putting our work onto it and posting for the client to look at.

I am wondering if anyone on the forum has experience using Applescript to generate HTML documents so that we would cut out that step of the process? In other words, when we hit the "Create new job" button it would perform a script that generates all of the HTML documents with the appropriate job number, client name, and job title within the HTML code.

Does anyone have experience with something like this or know of a good resource for us to turn to? Any help is much appreciated!

Why using AppleScript to create a HTML documents.

XML export with a XSL transformation is made for this kind of jobs .

You have just to use AppleScript (or a plug-in, so the solution will be cross-platform) to rename the exported document.
