On reflection the plan is: Yes an overall Xchema file for the sole purpose of providing names of fields and a hierachy for records other xchemas for each record type and in some cases different ones for new record as from edit record. The xschema has some additional detail like Position and tab order, field size where necessary, some event indications like OnEnter go to some other field, etc... bits taken from XFA or XFDL or XSL, because this will be local with out the intent to distribute it really does not matter if it does not conform to any standard. The standard parts come when the Data and XSL scripts are merged to produce a HTML file It is quite difficult having an idea and trying to have a vision for it when there is such a confusion of standards. Worse still there is not much prototyping for applications in XML available. The whole exercise becomes fraught with possible dangers, a wrong assumption early, a miscalculation, a over defined start could make it impossible or difficult. Beauty in in simplicity and this can be more difficult than expected. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ronald Bourret <rbourret@i...> To: <xml-dev@i...> Sent: Thursday, July 15, 1999 6:07 PM Subject: RE: XML > Trevor Croll wrote: > > > For about 4 months I have been looking for ways of XML ing the software > I was > planning to write.
