Right Punit. You can use either the old DOM model and the various DLL tools or 
the newer LINQ To XML and, or, the VB.net 9.0 embedded interface for working 
with XML files. There is also embedded statements in the newer versions of 
CSharp for working with XML Files. There are methods and properties for 
conversion to and from other formats, creating and working with Datasets and 
working with XSD Files which give you Schema control over XML Files. If he only 
wants the most basic functionallity then using the old DLL interfaces over the 
DOM as you recommend should work fine. If this is going to be a DataFile of any 
merrit he might be better off learning to work with the tools developed after 
2003. 
Anyway, that would seem to depend on his requirements which I do not fully 
understand from his posts. He might want a Form or Page where he can maintain 
an XML File contents with the Schema handled automatically by the program or he 
might be asking about building a xml file manually with only a little tag 
checking. The diferences in the Schema complexity and content as well as what 
the file is to be used for would determine the level of the technicals he 
should employ in my opinion.
The subject is a little confusing at first since there are several diferent 
technologies used for working with XML Files and articles on Google can be 
confusing to figure out until you understand the diferent means of accessing 
and working with XML. That said, if I could figure it out and get it working, I 
would assume anybody can do the same. It is not really all that dificult after 
you have done a couple of examples.

  If you want to  add a node or any kind of XML manupulation of XML doc, you 
have to use XML APIS or XLiNQ. I have a code that can add a node using XML DOM 
APIs. If anyone wnats, I can post here. Pls let me know

    Hi: I don't think there is a application that will do what I think you are 
trying to do. Let me see if I am guessing right. You want to be able to add 
data to a xml file by entering it into things like TextBoxes or picking from 
DropDown Lists and have that data formatted into an xml file as you add, change 
or remove items. Does that sound like what you are trying to do? Or, are you 
just trying to find a application to validate the xml to make sure you have 
opening and closing tags? If you want to go beyond just having opening and 
closing tags like making sure they are in the right order and nested correctly 
you need to use a diferent approach.

      you might also take a look at note tab there is a link to it off my grab 
bag site (URL under my name)

      they may have included that, and if not it's very screen reader friendly, 
and its scriptable.

        y google it and just try it out to see, I don't think it would hurt 
anything. If it works good, if it doesn't, o well... I'm not sure if it works 
with xml, but you might want to check out something like Notepad++ or TextPad 
and see if they do any xml validation/checking for you...

        HTH, D!J!X!

        D!J!X!,

        Well I think I will just have to go with note pad. I was just doing 
some research for my course as we will be doing some XML this year and my 
lecturer recommended something called XML SPY editor. And I am not sure if that 
is compatible with JAWS 9.

        Thanks for all your suggestions.

        Regards,

        Lu

          I personally just use notepad, i mean since it's something you create 
yourself and that the tags are not set in stone, i guess the only advantage an 
editor would have is to make sure that each tag you create and open has a 
closing tag, or it would just make sure you stick to the rules for xml, but 
other than that, not much there i can see. What exactly are you looking for in 
the editor?

          Hello,

          Please can anyone recommend an XML editor or IDE which is compatible 
with JAWS 9? Thanks in advance.

            Hi, 

            I don't have the answers to your current questions, but having done 
a lot of college courses, (I was one light semester away from an A S degree), 
always keep in mind that though you should always try to use the required 
software, it's up to the school and instructors to make the class accessible to 
you!, not the other way around. 

            what is the use of that first application? 

            and, several of those second applications seem to be types of Linux 
based server software's, if so,  there are several others than those you 
mentioned that are accessible, and a few with speech applications built into 
the kernel. if I am right, let us know and I or one of the others can guide you 
to them

            remember, be nice, but be firm with instructors, and don't be 
afraid to solicit aid from the Disabled Students Center if you have one, and/or 
the dean of students and the Dean of facility if you need to.

              Hello,

              I am in my final year at university and I am taking a development 
course. I have a few questions as I have been instructed to download the 
following application by the course tutor;

              - Altova XML Spy editor

              My questions are;

              - Is this program accessible with JFW 9?
              - Where can I get a user guide?
              - Is there a more accessible alternative?

              Also I have been told to download one of the following 
application servers;
              a.. Resin

              a.. Tomcat 

              a.. Sun Application Server 
              a.. 
              a.. Cape Clear 6 

              a.. Systinet WASP 

              a.. BEA WebLogic 
              a.. 
              a.. IBM WebSphere. 


              My questions are basically the same as above;
              - What is an application server?
              - Which of the above is the most accessible?
              - Which of the above is easiest to use?

              Thanks in advance.

              Regards,

              LU
