I have data in XML. I need to be able to present the data in a web page
which may be charts, tables and other such like controls. I need to be
able to modify the appearance of this page simply and quickly (a
requirement being a two day turnaround). Ultimately I need a page where
the user can control the layout themselves, but this is not an immediate
requirement. Also, it may be that they need to control not just the
appearance but functionality and behaviour(which may be a seperate
issue?). Now I'm new to this kind of thing, since I dont usually work
on the GUI side of things but this particular project is all about the
GUI. So what I'm asking for is some ideas not solutions I've
thought it may be possible to do this sort of thing with cascading
stylesheets?? But that wouldn't allow me to change the behaviour of
controls on the form (though it certainly would be a start no?). Also
what about XUL? (or is that really going in the wrong direction) Is
there anything I can do specifically ASP-orientated that would make my
task easier, or am I really posing an HTML question? Perhaps it's even
a case of writing XSL to transform the XML so that it outputs HTML, and
the behaviour of the controls could be dependent on the XML they are given?
Ideas greatly appreciated
