Hi everyone :)

I was just wondering: what do I need to change the content of an XML file from some sort of form placed in a web page ?

Thanks

 
a processor.

be it php, asp, jsp, a perl script: you need to submit the form to a script which performs the necessary.

with some more information, we can be more specific.

Thanks for helping me !

During an interview for a CG programmer position, the recruiter noticed I had good skills in XML, and talked to me about a project he was planning: a sort of multi-player online game (not many players I think), on internet. The "game" would be limited to a little circle of researchers. He wanted to store the characters' properties into an XML file, and enable other players to change their properties online, from a form (or maybe add a player as well).

This question was not part of the job he was proposing, but now I wonder myself how I would do that if I was told to :)

I usually use a javascript to parse my xml files (and format the data), as I can't do whatever I want with XSL. Do javascript offers a "modifyer" as well ?
 
javascript is inherently client-side, and so cannot change anything on the server.

you would require some sort of server side technology.
