Clear data after change

Hi,

Maybe you can explain how to clear the data of control when change value?


I try do that, but it not work properly. I use

 <xf:setvalue ev:event="xforms-value-changed" observer="control-1-control"
                         ref="instance('fr-form-instance')/section-7/control-6"
                         value=""/>

Source: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9909863


Why I can use this?

<xf:action ev:event="xforms-enabled"> 
                                        <xxf:script>
$(document).ready(function(){
  $("$control-2-control").click(function(){
    $("$control-1-control").val('');
  });
});
</xxf:script>

 </xf:action> 


Also if I use <xf:setvalue>  autocomplete field doesn't do anything, do not become empty.

Instead of:

    value=""

try:

    value="''"

or simply omit the `value`attribute.

Thanks for suggest, but it does not help. In autocomplete control not clear data when I use <xf:setvalue>

Maybe You can tell me how I can clear data from autocomplete field with <xf:setvalue>?

Hi Jovita,

Could you create a minimal example where you try to do this and it fails? (I looked at your original example, but it seems to be doing something else, with a number of fields, and no autocomplete.)

Hi, Alex,


I re-tested the AutoComplete data erasing and realized that if the field is visible, then cleaned the data. If AutoComplete is not visible after the abolition of value, an error is displayed and the data is not cleared.

I guess I should wait Orbeon 4.6 version because bug is fixed:

Hi Jovita,

Indeed, this might be it. But since we "just" released 4.5, 4.6 might be a couple of months out. So if you want to test that the fix solves your issue, you could take the file that was impacted by the change (autocomplete.xbl linked below), and place it in your WEB-INF/resources/xbl/orbeon/autocomplete/autocomplete.xbl. Create the necessary directories under WEB-INF/resources, and this will override the autocomplete.xbl that comes with the build.

Hi Alex,

Thanks, it helps!

I would like to ask You about the data values clearing after control changed the value. As You  can see in my source (link below) I have been using a very simple and in my opinion not logic method for this procedure. I just write in each control a action and mention all controls. But if I do have about 100 control it becomes difficult.

Maybe there is an even easier way?
