A couple of possibilities, perhaps not *exactly* what you had in mind, but getting there: First, there's essentially a demo of how to use IE's XML OCX control at http://architag.com/xmlu/play/editor/ They also have an "XRay" product, but I believe that is client-side rather than browser-based. There's a commercial product WebAccess from Mozquito Technologies, see http://www.mozquito.com/ It's about $1000/ Euro 1000 ...but there are demos at http://solutions.mozquito.com/ and I think you can get an evaluation license for the server-side product. Actually, it's pretty easy to "roll your own" HTML forms and have a simple client-side DOM script that populates the forms from XML on load and stuffs the forms back into an XML template to be PUT back to a HTTP/WebDAV server or an XML DBMS that supports HTTP. Or, you could just POST the form data to a servlet/JSP/ASP/CGI thingie that handles the XML-ization and form-filling-in. It's remarkably easy to to useful things XML+HTML+a little script or XSLT code ... which was the whole POINT of XML that is so easy to lose track of ... &myusualrant;
