Modifying XML from the client side

[milkyway]

Hello everyone,

What I would like to do is the following: to have an XML document. Send
the document through XSLT to create a table like structure. Allow the
user to add rows to the table like structure (thus changing the XML
document) and then finally allowing the user to send the modified
document to the server (or SOAP service) for persistence.

I am using VS 2005 C# for the client programming.

I have figured out a way to read data (from a DB not an XML) and insert
it into a DOM. In this case, the DOM structure is modified by using
Javascript commands to Add and Remove. But - there is a lot of code
involved so I wondered if there was perhaps an easier way to accomplish
the same thing (with not so much code).

I was at first drawn to the idea of the "updategram" but it seems as
though this is used for database persistence only? Am I correct? If so,
then is there the possibility for the updategram to be used to change
the structure of the XML file *only*? If so, how?

Any pointers for a newbie in this area would be appreciated ;-)

TIA
