XForms/Stock Quote

Motivation

You want to have a web page that looks up a stock symbol. You have a REST-based web service that returns stock information if you pass it a ticker symbol. URL that you sends the service looks like the following:

 http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx/GetQuote?symbol=GOOG

This URL returns the following XML:
