Thanks a lot for your reply. Indeed the form-sampler.xml looks really great! that's exactly what I'd like to have for my xml files.
I looked at the example files carefully and tried to do the same for my files but I find it not very straightforward, even with the documentation. I am a bit disapointed by the fact the css must be very specific an it can not be generic. For example it looks like it's not possible to ask for a combobox each time there is a restriction type with enumeration or is it? The xxe configuration files look even more obscur to me and it's hard for me to figure out what should go into the configuration file and what should go into the css. A final question: are there simple default css files and/or config files that would work for any schema in ordre to have a not too bad styled view. I tried starting with an empty css and empty xxe file but the result is very ugly.
