Thanks
I did wonder whether that would be the method! I take it you build the
html file with xslt that will include a form and a post method to
rebuild the file!!
Thanks

database to store data in.
Is this a valid use for xsl, and how do I do it.
Useful URLs would be great!
No, it isn't.
It is a valid use for the first part: "read in an xml file, display it
as a web page, where a user
can insert data into avaiable text fields"
Then, you need a server-side script to collect the data from the user
and alter the XML file
(eventually using another XSLT file, that takes as parameters what
needs to be changed in a file).
But even so, a XSLT file will not alter the original file: so you will
do on the server something
like this: file.xml ---(alter.xsl)--> newFile.xml ; copy newFile.xml
into file.xml
