Copying text from one textarea to another

Hi
I have a textarea, labelled "Source" in which I enter some text (say Hello World). I have another textarea below it, labelled "Destination". My objective is to copy text from Source to Destination by clicking on a Button (labelled "Same as Above") that is placed beside Destination. Doing this will cause Hello World to appear in Destination.

What is the best way to do it? I can come up with xforms:insert only at this point of time.

That's a task for the xforms:setvalue element [1], i think. I've attached a very
simple example page to test in the xforms sandbox that demonstrates copying data
from one element to another. xforms:insert is useful if you want to insert "new
entries into a homogenous collection" [2].

It worked great. One of the things I was doing wrong was to put an index[] as follows:

RE: Copying text from one textarea to another

I tried modifying the example for copying text between two fields so
that it works between two instances and I'm not having any luck. I've
been at it for hours and it's time to ask for help :-) I copied my
example into the attached file. There are now two instances "data1"
and "data2". The desired result is to have a trigger copy from

"instance('data1')/data/source" to
"instance('data2')/data/destination"

The syntax I was trying to use is as follows:

<xforms:setvalue ev:event="DOMActivate"
ref="instance('data1')/data/destination"
value="instance('data1')/data/source" />

The model definition:
<xforms:model id="main-model">
<xforms:instance id="data1">
<data xmlns="">
<source />
<destination />
</data>
</xforms:instance>

<xforms:instance id="data2">
<data xmlns="">
<source />
<destination />
</data>
</xforms:instance>
</xforms:model>

The result I'm getting is nothing. It doesn't appear to do anything at
all. What am I missing?

Thanks!
- Rick

Re: Copying text from one textarea to another

Hi Rick,

I think the problem you have is that the instance() expression does not point to the <instance> node but to the root of the XML document the instance contains. In other words, with the instance
<xforms:instance id="data1">
<data xmlns="">
<source />
<destination />
</data>
</xforms:instance>
the expression instance('data1') refers to the <data> node, not the <instance> node.

So, what you need is
<xforms:setvalue ev:event="DOMActivate"
ref="instance('data1')/destination"
value="instance('data1')/source" />

Cheers,

Dave Mc

accessing controls inside repeat table through javascript

Hi,

I have a textbox inside a repeat table with an id as:

<xforms:input ref="//name" id="stxname" />

On a button click(Button is also inside the repeat table), I need to get access the input control through javascript. I used the following code:

<xxforms:script>
var var1=ORBEON.xforms.Document.getValue("stxname");
alert(var1);
</xxforms:script>

But this code does not return the value of the input control. I checked the view source and found that there is an input control with id as stxname.1 but when I try to access the input control using this id, Orbeon throws error saying 'element has no properties'. From the error, I assume that, such a control does not exist. But how do we access the controls inside the repeat table?

Please help.

Thanks in advance
Jency

doubt in xslt

Hi,

In my xslt, I have a statement as
<xsl:variable name="repeatid" select="ancestor::xforms:repeat/@id"></xsl:variable>

This will return an array of string with 2 strings say, a and b.
From this, I need to construct the following string in a variable:
The resultant string should be "concat(index('a'),'.',index('b'))"

Please help me in doing this. I'm not so good in xslt.

Thanks in advance
Jency

Re: doubt in xslt

Jency,

You should be able to write in XPath 2.0:

string-join(ancestor::xforms:repeat/@id, '.')

RE: doubt in xslt

Hi Erik,

string-join(ancestor::xforms:repeat/@id, '.') will result in "a.b" . But I need the resultant string as
"concat(index(''RiskDetails''),''.'',index(''RiskItem''))".

Please help

Thanks in advance
Jency

Hi Rick
Did you get it to work? Sorry about the late reply.
