Trying to provide a user with editable XML page in a browser.

For example, the following is part of an XML.

<Employee name="John Doe" type="contract" ID="1000"> 
    <Salary>10000</Salary>  
    <Email>[email protected]</Email>  
</Employee>

When the above is presented to the user in a brower (either IE or FF), the user should be able to highlight an attribute or the value. When highlighted and the second mouse button is pressed, this would pop up a menu for editing. For attributes and tags, it could be something like ID-TEST-PRESENT or ID-TEST-OPTIONAL. Now instead of ID, the attribute should change to ID-TEST-PRESENT when selected.

Likewise, for values, a text box can be presented, where the user can enter a new value. Then this updated XML file needs to be sent to the back end and saved.

Is this doable? If yes, what would be the easiest way.

I have always written embedded applications. This is my first foray on the web browser side. Any help is appreciated.
