1. xforms:input + xforms:hint 2. dynamic input?

Hi!
1. Whats about the xforms:hint tag? I've tried to use it, but I think there is something wrong. When I'm using xforms:hint in combination with xforms:input, hint is not highlighted. For xforms:secret it's working.

<xforms:input ref="name">
  <xforms:label>name</xforms:label>
  <xforms:hint>max. 20</xforms:hint>
</xforms:input>

2. I like to use input in more dynamic way. I have 2 different choices (maybe xforms:select1). Each of them have 3 childs, which should be visible, when parent is selected. I hope it's understandable. ;-).
So what's the most dressiest solution for that behavior?

thanks

Is there a way for binding xforms:case to xforms:select1 or direct to a value of xforms instance?

Also the case attribute of the "xforms:toggle".

This seems to be a new issue. I entered a bug:

I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do. What are the children
in question? Please provide some more details.

I think I understand better what you are trying to achieve. This is
what I suggest you do:

1. Use xforms:select1 to choose between one of two possible values

    <xforms:instance id="main">
      <control xmlns="">
        <my-select-value>1</my-select-value>
      </control>
    </xforms:instance>

    <xforms:select1 ref="instance('main')/my-select-value">
      <xforms:item>
        <xforms:name>First</xforms:name>
        <xforms:value>1</xforms:value>
      </xforms:item>
      <xforms:item>
        <xforms:name>Second</xforms:name>
        <xforms:value>2</xforms:value>
      </xforms:item>
    </xforms:select1

2. Use an extra XForms instance and xforms:bind to determine some
    relevant nodes:

    <xforms:instance id="control-instance">
      <control xmlns="">
        <show-controls-1/>
        <show-controls-2/>
      </control>
    </xforms:instance>

    <xforms:bind nodeset="instance('control-instance')/show-controls-1"
relevant="instance('main')/my-select-value = 1"/>
    <xforms:bind nodeset="instance('control-instance')/show-controls-2"
relevant="instance('main')/my-select-value = 2"/>

    <xforms:group ref="instance('control-instance')/show-controls-1">
      ... this group will be visible when you select the value "1" ...
    </xforms:group

    <xforms:group ref="instance('control-instance')/show-controls-2">
      ... this group will be visible when you select the value "2" ...
    </xforms:group

I hope this helps,

-Erik

Sorry I don't unsterstand. Can you give an example?

.... <xforms:select1 ref="/myform" appearance="minimal">
<xforms:label />
<xforms:item>
  <xforms:label>One</xforms:label>
  <xforms:value>1</xforms:value>
</xforms:item>
<xforms:item>
  <xforms:label>Two</xforms:label>
  <xforms:value>2</xforms:value>
</xforms:item>
</xforms:select1>
....
<xforms:switch>
<xforms:case id="One">
blabla
</xforms:case>
<xforms:case id="Two">
blabla
</xforms:case>
</xforms:switch>

If I select the "One" item, I only want to see everything before the switch + the case with id="One".

The "case" attribute is static, so this means you need two or more
xforms:toggle actions. Then you need to call one or the other of those
actions depending on what value is currently selected from the
xforms:switch. Unless there is a trick I am not aware of, you would
have to be able to use conditional events handlers to achieve, which
are not part of XForms 1.0. This is why I suggested a solution using
xforms:bind and xforms:group instead.

Eric,

Ok I understand, and I have read your response to "c.harder".
I must generate my view through a pipeline since I have no idea of how
many group of control I'll have to show.
So I think XSLT is my friend. ;-)

In fact, I was not correct. You could do something like this:

    <xforms:select1 ref="instance('main')/my-select-value">
      <xforms:item>
        <xforms:name>First</xforms:name>
        <xforms:value>1</xforms:value>
        <xforms:toggle ev:event="xforms-select" case="case-1"/>
      </xforms:item>
      <xforms:item>
        <xforms:name>Second</xforms:name>
        <xforms:value>2</xforms:value>
        <xforms:toggle ev:event="xforms-select" case="case-2"/>
      </xforms:item>
    </xforms:select1>

However we have a bug that prevents this to work correctly at the moment:

http://forge.objectweb.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=304019&group_id=168&atid=350207

So the solution with xforms:bind and xforms:group is still the best :-)

I thought that's what I was doing in my previous reply ;-)

 > ....

 > <xforms:label />
 > <xforms:item>
 >   <xforms:label>One</xforms:label>

 > </xforms:case>
 > </xforms:switch>
 >

The solution I proposed does not involve xforms:switch and
xforms:case, but uses two xforms:group elements and xforms:bind to
make one of those two groups only relevant, i.e. visible.

Ok thanks, thats a start.
I will try the group- and bind-solution... hope it works.
Please hurry up killing the bug ;-))

Erik,

Yes I'm lucky. It's a pretty cool solution for what I want to achieve.

By the way, Have I to do any action such submission or anything else after the selection ?
Because the initial value display the right group of controls but when I change the selection, only the select1 control is display.

Marc, I attach a screenshot and the source code of a working example
illustrating this mechanism!
