Hi,
You need to learn how to use the DOM to manipulate your XML file.
<Description/> is fine in your original XML file.
Use getElementsByTagName("NOTE") to get all of your <NOTE> elements
Then use something like:
'<input type=text
name=description>'+root.childNodes(x).childNodes(3).text+'</input>'
Where 'x' is a variable to iterate through you <NOTE> elements, outputting
an editable box for each description element.
The put whatever the user types back into the element:
root.childNodes(x).childNodes(3).text=yourForm.description.value;
finally, save the new XML back to a file:
yourXmlDoc.save('yourfile.xml')
For this to be allowed, you need to rename the .htm that instigates the
transform to .hta
This will allow the necessary permissions.
I know I have been overly brief, bu if you get stuck I can give you some
more help.
cheers
andrew

Dynamically?
Thanks Mike,
Say, I change <DESCRIPTION /> to <DESCRIPTION>the description goes
here</DESCRIPTION>. When this XML is displayed with XSL nicely, the viewer
should be allowed to change the text of <DESCRIPTION> (In this case, the
viewer modifies from "the description goes here" to "this has been
modified." ) so that next time the same XML is displayed, it'll show as
"this has been modified" instead of "the description goes here"...
Is this possible?
Thanks,
kero
