    xslt: making use of edit/delete buttons is that actually work?

    I want to make an xslt file that formats and displays data from an XElement
    object through an xml control. I need to have the xslt file show edit/remove
    buttons next to each element/attribute that is displayed on the page. These
    buttons/links do have to actually work in the sense that you can actually
    edit/remove the particular element/attribute. Is there any way to do
    something like this?

      I'm sure there is, XSLT reformats XML. If you know the final output, in this
      case it sounds like (X)HTML and you show the original input we can advise
      further.
      You may have to explain what XElement object is though, is that the LINQ-XML
      XElement?

          LINQ-XML XElement?
          Exactly what it is. As far as showing input, what do you mean by this? I
          haven't designed any of the .net code yet, but what is supposed to happen is
          this: There is a 9 step asp.net wizard that takes a person through creating
          a "blank contract". During each step, the xml being built is shown on the
          page below the wizard so the user can see their progress as they go through
          the wizard. I need to make edit/remove buttons next to the different
          elements/attributes so they can be edited/removed as needed. A good example
          of this would be this: On step 1 of the wizard, the user is asked to enter
          in an editbox the contract type to create. Since it is freehand writing, it
          can be anything they type up to 30 characters long. When they press the add
          button, a new view in the step shows up saying that the new "type" has been
          created. When they press next for step 2, it takes them to the glossary step
          of the wizard. On this step, the user enters word/definition pairs to be
          added to the section. Below the wizard, there is the contract view as it has
          been created so far. In this step, it would have the contract type and
          whatever word/definition pairs they have added so far. These word/definition
          pairs as well as anything added to the contract would have these buttons
          next to them.

          Does this help?

              and messages sometimes don't show for days)
              I think I understand. The XSLT will create HTML that has edit buttons
              against each element/attribute so the user can change their mind etc.
              I'm sure this is doable but seems quite convoluted. Why not just bind the
              XML to a gridview or similar and have the buttons part of the view?
