Hi,
I am a newbie to this site and glad I found it.
I would like to use Infopath to drive a control CMS for a website using a connection like SQLXML or other HTTP interface. All I have really seen from Infopath is it saving an XML document or mailing it in office. The only use Infopath has for me is it I can create forms that talk to external data services.
I had nievely thought that Infopath would create XSL pages that I could used to connect to XML, and speedup web page (Xpath) development.
What can I realistically expect to get from Infopath?
Is it just corporate?
Is there usable browser plugin (not a photo of a form but the JS that drives the form input)?
Can Infopath be used to develop UI dialogs but do not need Infopath to drive that dialog?
I know I would have great difficulty in selling Infopath as any component to drive the backend of a web site to my clients.
Any pointers to helpful topics would be greatly appreicated, if anyone has any ROI examples about what Infopaths yeilds that would be cool to.
