I remember working on something like this.  You can access the MS-XML COM
objects from Javascript or VBSCRIPT and post the XML to a web server.  Of
course the XML will have to be sent as a form field.

Subject: [internetworkers] Web/XML question


I was wondering if any of the web developers on the list could help me
out with an XML question. I talked to a customer today who said when a
form is filled out on her site the form data is sent via XML to her web
server. Now I know that XML can be sent over HTTP like in SOAP, but
I've never heard of a regular HTML form communicating with a web server
via XML.

Unfortunately she couldn't give me any technical details, so I wanted
to make sure there wasn't some new trend of people writing javascript
to grab form data and construct XML from it.

Thanks for any insights,
