Rather than going straight from XSD to HTML, you may want to think in terms of a step wise approach which allowed you to specify the form structure in a separate (presentation-independent) XML document, then populate that document with data from the schema, then apply a styling XSLT to render it in HTML. This gives you a process which is not bound to any specific schema or output device. You may find this is also easier to develop and maintain, in that changes to the form design or styling can be expressed in the 'form specification' XML or the final XSLT respectively, instead of in a single complex XSLT file. You've also got more control over which form objects are used for each XSD component.

Hi, Is it possible to use xslt on a schema document (.xsd) to generate html ? I will have no source xml to run the xslt on they way you normally would. The idea is that the xslt will turn the xsd document into a html form - drop down lists for enumerations, input boxes for attributes etc. The user can then fill in the values, the form will post to a servlet which will generate the xml.
