RE: [OT]-- Editing XML

Unfortunately yes, the XML represents an application configuration and is to be configured by the end user.   Many Thanks,   Greg   -----Original Message----- From: Holliday, Donald B.

I would like to take a 3rd party XML data structure and defined XSLT to create a HTML form for editing the underling XML data structure. Only requiring basic input validation maybe from a schema. When the form has been completed and submitted the XML data structure would be recreated with the new input values. I need to do this in a generic way so that the same application can process and edit any defined XML data structure.                                     XML à HTML FORM à XML   Can I do this?   Are there any tools out there that enable this?   Could a 3rd party define a XML data structure and XSLT that would create a HTML form for editing the data structure?   Any comments/input is greatly appreciated, I have been assigned this task and have no idea if it is possible or where to start.   Many Thanks,   Greg Hess Software Engineer Wrapped Apps Corporation 275 Michael Cowpland Dr. Suite 201 Ottawa, Ontario K2M 2G2 Tel: (613) 591 -7552 Fax: (613) 591-0523 1 (877) 388-6742
