You might check out the in-browser OPML editor I built at: http://www.netcrucible.com/xslt/opml.htm The editor was mainly an experiment to do generic XML editing in-browser, and works on Netscape 5+ and IE 5.5+. Basically, the trick is to transform the XML into a bunch of DIV and SPAN that match the attributes and elements of XML, then use W3C DOM to manipulate the nodes. Then, once the edits are made, you can transform back to XML -- for example, in the OPML samples I have there, you can edit, then just hit ctrl-x to get the modified XML loaded in a convenient form for POST-ing. At least this is a cross-browser proof of concept of what you want to do; I apologize I couldn't give a more complete example at this time..
