Can XML data be edited using XSL

[Sean sean_martin]

Hi,

I have an XML sheet which i'm displaying using XSL, can i edit this XML sheet
using my current XSL pages, or by using ASP??

The XML is holding user information which has been loaded from an access
database, I want to allow the user to edit their information via the web
if they need to.

Is this possible using XML, or does a front end need to be designed between
the XML page and the user..

I have read a few articles on three tier client/server models, is this what
is needed??

Thanks Sean.

XSL simply forms the text. It can form it into an HTML page which can then
be used to modify the data. However, you must have a process to accept the
changes, update the XML in your document and then put it back into the database.

You can use ASP to do all of this, but it will not be fast and will create
complex code. This is why most people would write a COM object to manage
the data, simplifying the ASP.
