I have to build a small widget that takes info from the user in 3 text boxes on an XML page send it to perl ..do somthing.. and send the result to a text field on the XML page.
I've got the perl end covered (I think) and I understand enough about XML to stucture the page. I'm having problems getting around the whole input field thingy. An XML page when parsed will return the static page structure not the input values. Xforms seems to be a lost cause in this regard but my understanding of XML is not great.
Can someone point me in a direction taht will enlighten me on data mapping from an input field to the XML document and back. Or am I going completely going in the opposite direction.
Short description:
Present user with 3 input fields using xml => send it to a perl function=>return result in a fourth text box.
Thanks
