Hi, I am using the Orbeon Forms solution to generate messages from filled-in web forms. I read different code snippetse in Orbeon's wiki on XForms submission from a pipeline, and I tried different solutions but it doesn't work, and there is no example with a POST from a pipeline, caught by a PFC and sent to an XForms view that receives...
I'm writing a script for a form-faces xforms product that is keyed off an event built into form faces. The event is called 'xforms-ready'. I have define 'startTime' as happening as soon as the document in 'ready'. What I want the script to do is warn the user that it is taking too long before the 'xforms-ready' happens, say if it's been ...
Hi! I am changing my code to use binds in XForms (which is better practice than using nodesets everywhere!) but I am getting errors. The error message I receive is: "Error: XForms Error (8): id (data_criterion) does not refer to a bind element..." From tutorials/guides I have been using, it seems as though this should work, but clear...

Hi! I am wanting to concatenate two nodeset values using XPath in XForms. I know that XPath has a concat(string, string) function, but how would I go about concatenating two nodeset values? BEGIN EDIT: I tried concat function.. I tried this.. and variations of it to make it work, but it doesn't <xf:value ref="concat(instance('para...
Hi! I would like to set two values for two different nodes from user input in XForms. I am curious about how this is done, if at all possible. For example, if I have the following data model: <xf:instance id="criteria_data" xmlns=""> <criteria> <set> <root></root> <criterion></criterion> </set...
I have a main instance named 'myinstance' which has the element color. Color can be 'Red', 'Blue', 'Green' or ''Yellow'. The colors are populated in a drop-down from another instance called 'colorsinstance'. When my form loads, I want the default in the dropdown to be set to 'Green' in the nodeset binding. <instance id="colorsinstance"...
I have a list element in my model instance. I am using Orbeon XForms. <mypage> <list name='mylist'/> <status /> </mypage> Status can be Private or Public. In xforms:binding, I want to set relevant attribute for showing/hiding the list. The list is bound to a drop-down. If status is Private I want to show the list, if status is...
I've recently implemented a simple dynamic forms engine that uses dynamically loaded ASP.NET controls in concert with an EAV schema to handle the variable nature of the data model. The business was sufficiently satisfied with the end product for a time, but is now clamoring for much more complex dynamic forms: Field visibility is tied...
Hi! I am wondering.. is tree view/navigation possible to do (and somewhat easily) in XForms given a XML data structure? If it is possible, where can I find a really excellent example (code and hopefully a working form to view)? Also, are there any tips you have for implementing this? (I'm new to XForms, and only know the basics so far...
I have form1 passing a query string parameter(param1) to form2. I pass param1=true from form1. In form 2, I am trying to set the value of the param1 into a local instance. If I DO NOT pass param1 from form 1, I want form2 to take the value of param1 to be false. Here is my instance. <xforms:instance id="querystring-instance"> <query...

As user fills these fields, the red alert icon changes to green check mark....
I have a dropdown to display status, which can be Enabled(true) or Disabled(false). Here is my xml instance. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <page> <file-name></file-name> <status></status> </page> By default, status should be true. So I have set it in binding as follows. <xforms:bind nodeset="./status"...
In the EPiServer file upload dialogue, there is a section for adding meta data to an uploaded file such as Title, Link, Description, Author and Publisher. These form fields are implemented using XForms and configured in FileSummary.config. The headings for these fields are defined directly in HTML markup containing the XForms controls a...
Hi! I'm looking to implement an XForms Color Picker/Selector/Control (you know where it shows boxes or shades of colors in a dropdown type control). Is it possible to do this in XForms (without using Orbeon; I am using XSLTForms)? Is so, how is it implemented, or can anyone point me to (simple) code examples that do? Thanks! :) ...
