 Tom, I can see what your javascript would accomplish (exactly what I need). Would I need to create a var for EACH element that captures user input? or one that would create the xml_string dynamically using the @name and other @s of each element? Just wondering...not too strong on javascript...mostly vb basics...I'm just trying to torture myself with this project! Again, thank you.

It can be called recursively. I did not need attributes in this particular application, but it would not be hard to add them. It is simple but it produces well-formed xml unless you work hard to defeat it. // This function builds a tagged XML element //with given tag name and content function element(tag,content){ var xml if (!content) xml='<'+tag+'/>' else xml='<'+tag+'>' + content + '</'+tag+'>' return xml } You could write something like var xml_string = element('measure', element(name,'Form Element 1'), 'this is a sample form element') xml_string = element('root',xml_string) You have to think about whether you need to escape any of the data from the form elements (which I do not show here). You could have your stylesheet insert the scriping code into the html document.
