Conditional output / label in repeat?

I would love to display a repeat structure like this

Label: Input1
[del] Input2
[del] Input3

e.g. the label for the inputs in the first line, every other line with
a delete trigger for that line.

>From what I understand now I would need some kind of conditional
depending on the repeat index.

Is this possible?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Mathias

RE: Conditional output / label in repeat?

Mathias,
I would add a <label> element to all them, with a text value if you
want a label and <label/> where you want a trigger then

<xforms:group ref="label[. != '']">
<xforms:output ref="label"/>
</xforms:group>
<xforms:group ref="label[. = '']">
<xforms:trigger>
<xforms:label>Trigger</xforms:label>
</xforms:trigger>
</xforms:group>

There might be a better way, but that's what comes to mind!

Ryan,

I don't think I really get your answer. How do you do that inside a
repeat statement? There seems to be no way to get output conditional on
the repeat index. Do you mean to put a label inside the repeat instance
data? Like, put one line with a label in there (the first) and one with
an empty label which acts as template for the new lines... Hmmmm, sounds
possible. I guess I need to learn to think more in manipulating instance
data instead of the html.

But then, I just got a really simple idea from re-reading the problem
and your answer.

Put the first line manually (with the label && no way to delete) and the
rest in the repeat (with the delete trigger) without the first item of
the instance... I will try this now.

Mathias,

Did you find a solution to this problem?

Not really, Alex, but since I allways have one row in my repeat I just
do as I envisioned above:

Put that one static row in by hand, with a label, and putting the
optional ones in a repeat, with a delete button.

It works, it looks like it's supposed to look, but it's not generic: if
you need it for a repeat where all entries are optional, you need to
find a better solution.

Good luck, Mathias
