Default values for an integer type field

Default values for an integer type field Hello all,

I have this xform with quite a few xforms:input fields which are bound to xs:integer typed nodes. However, I'm allowed to enter whatever I want. When leaving the field (DomFocusOut) this always triggers an error. This error of course makes sense.

However... I don't want that behaviour. I want, in case of an invalid entry, a default value to be entered in the input box (0 for instance).

Can this be done? If so, how would I do this?

Best, Robin

Hey Robin

You can use events dispatched to an instance when it becomes valid or invalid:

<xforms:input ref="$test/number">
<xforms:label>Enter number</xforms:label>
<xforms:alert />
<xforms:action ev:event="xforms-valid">

</xforms:action>
<xforms:action ev:event="xforms-invalid">

<xforms:setvalue ref="$test">0</xforms:setvalue>
</xforms:action>
</xforms:input>

Cheers Karolin

Try changing your type from xs:integer to xforms:integer.
XML datatypes treats empty value as invalid value.

Similarly you can probably use a bind, like:

<xf;bind ref="number" calculate="if (. castable as xs:integer) then . else 0">
