An XML Schema is not generative; i.e., doesn't have enough information in it to provide the basic structure of a document, so you need to start with something that says what the root element it, what elements come next, etc. If you start with a sample XML document with blanks for the content, then you can use any XForms processor to do what you're asking. You do need to provide the human-readable labels for the fields you want the user to edit, and an XPath expression that says where those fields are in the initial document. If you specify one or more XML Schemas, they will be used to validate the resulting document before it is POSTed back as XML. See http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms and http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/Test/ImplementationReport.html two fully-conformant implementations, one of which runs inside Internet Explorer. There are also some JavaScript-based implementations; they aren't fully conformant with the XForms spec, but might be good enough for your purposes. IBM has one available form download and testing.

Subject: Looking for a schema->html form XSL transform Hi, I want to: 1. Use XSL to build a HTML form from a schema, then 2. Build XML from the elements in the form and POST the xml back to a server. Does anyone know of XSL or javascript I can use which will address either of the above? -- Cameron Shorter http://cameron.shorter.net Open Source Developer http://generguide.sourceforge.net http://mapbuilder.sourceforge.net http://geotools.org Senior Software Engineer http://www.adi-limited.com
