(neWbie) excel and XML--borders

[blueindian1]

Hello,

Let me preface this question by saying that I am COMPLETLY new to XML and have not a clue as to what i'm doing.

that said:

i have a chart created by XML that is a MS Excel graph. The graph is containd in a big cell. to the left of the graph is a title and to the right is a legend. both the title and the leged have borders around them, and i need to get rid of them. following is information that may be useful in answering this question...if you need other stuff let me know!

here's where the XML starts:

  <param name=&quot;XMLData&quot; value=&quot;<xml xmlns:x=&quot;urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel&quot;>

here's the title

      <x:Caption>
       <x:DataSource>-1</x:DataSource>
       <x:Data>&quot;VA/Premier VA Shipping (in Thousands)&quot;</x:Data>
      </x:Caption>

any ideas? thanks in advance

What do you need exactly to know?
XML is not a formatting language in other means than structuring data. XML is NOT HTML.
If I understood, you want to have a pretty XML for your graph.
In this case, you really don't have to format the XML, but use XSL to format the XML and send it to HTML.

I am not sure if this answers your questions. [red]Nosferatu[/red]

having done a little more with it, i can probably phrase the question better.

what i have is actually a microsoft office web component, and I'm trying to figure out how to take the borders of the title of the graph. there is a param for bolding the text, underlining the text, setting the font, etc. what i need is the param for taking off borders.

does that clarify at all?
