boen_robot Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 You can do something like <form name="input" action="form_action.asp"method="get">Data: <input type="text" name="user" value="{node-set}"><input type="submit" value="Submit"></form> Where you must replace "node-set" with an XPath expression to the actual data and "form_action.asp" with a sever side scripting file (not necessary ASP) that would perform the processes for updating the XML. You can't do that with XSLT alone I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Goat Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 the script you send the form to will just have to open the file, search for something to replace, and replace it with the new value.I would reccomend having a hidden element with the same value, so that the script will know what to replace.LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
