Auto-complete return value

Hi all,

With an auto-complete control we have to use by design the same element
for the label and the value node of the itemset.

Ex :

<xforms:itemset nodeset="itemset/item">
        <xforms:label ref="."/>
      <xforms:value ref="."/>
</xforms:itemset>

With  :

        <itemset>
                <item id="1">
                        First
                </item>
                <item id="2">
                        Second
                </item>
                <item id="3">
                        Third
                </item>
        </itemset>

How can I retrieve the id of the selected element ?

Marc,
        I'm not sure why you can't store the value as @id, but assuming the
value of the item elements are unique you could use

<xforms:setvalue ref="instance('some-instance')/path/to/id/element"
 value="for $i in instance('some-instance')/path/to/selected/item return
/itemset/item[. = $i]/@id"/>

Assuming you want to set the value to an element

Ryan,

>I'm not sure why you can't store the value as @id, but assuming the

Because by design if you put the @id in the value, the control will
display the @id element.

><xforms:setvalue ref="instance('some-instance')/path/to/id/element"
> value="for $i in instance('some-instance')/path/to/selected/item
return /itemset/item[. = $i]/@id"/>

>Assuming you want to set the value to an element

Yes, it's what I want to do. And your sample point me the Xpath mistake
I have made.

Thanks, Ryan.
