Hi,

Does anyboby know of any visual editor (designer mode) for XSL sheets ?


Currently my users use Altova (XML Spy) StyleVision, but it's ActiveX
and requires plugin to run and can't run in anything but IE.  :-(



Thank you,
Oleg.

Yes, I was referring to the XSL sheets that came with Cocoon.

Creating a graphical design interface for creating such stylesheets would be 
an, um, interesting exercise - but its certainly too complex a task for me.  My 
users have to just live with the designs I give them
:-) or ask for me to change them by hand...

I have not looked at XForms.

Derek,

When you say that all layout is done by stylesheets, do you mean XSL or CSS ?
If so, how do I build the stylesheet graphically [more in Design mode]?
My users will not be programmers,
so I would like to avoid exposing them to some heavy coding.

Also, I've heard of Xforms, but that it's not supported by IE6&7 (is it true?)

Could anyone compare CForms and XForms ?
Any tools for them ?

Thank you,
Oleg.

I am not quite sure why you want to build a form graphically - given that all 
the layout is done by stylesheets?  The forms essentially only contain the 
field definition and any logic required to validate or alter/display their 
values. FWIW, I have a small Python program that creates basic forms (and the 
logic my app uses to manipulate them) from an SQL statement.

Hi,
Are you aware of any tool which allows to build CForms graphically, similar to 
how many Eclipse plugins ?
We have a limited set of XML fields, need to create (or find) a tool to build 
forms through the GUI for non-programmers.
If not, how would you build such a tool, any building blocks ?
Any help is very appreciated.
TIA,
Oleg Konovalov
