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!


I usually just create a single string variable and keep building it up
until it is done.  Once in a while it is useful to create a second
variable, sort of a working buffer.  If you end up building a long
string with lots of pieces, it can start to get slow (because of all the
memory allocations that go on behind the scenes) and there is a good
work-around which is fast.  If that happens, which is unlikely unless
your page gets really complicated, you can email me off-list.

Of course, you can do the same things in vb as well, but I am sure it
will be easier and more readable in javascript.

I notice that you keep saying "@name", suggesting that you mean to use
attributes.  If so, you would have to modify my code a bit, but that
would be easy (javascript has a nice data structure that is good for
this).  Again, you can email me off list (or I can put it on-list if
anyone else is interested, but it is getting reather OT)

Cheers,

Tom P
