Displaying a list with the output control

Hi all,

Problem:
Given a nodeset that can have any number of repeats. Display using a single
output control a list of value from that nodeset. i.e not using a repeat
that display each text node within its control but create a concatanated
list of values and then display it.

Solution:

Hints:
bind and calculate are probably involve but aside from using a repeat
control I do not know how to iterate over a list in order to generate a
concanated list!!!

Example:
Like Eric once wrote me code talks......

Marco

Re: Displaying a list with the output control

What you want is something along the lines of

<xforms:output value="string-join(instance('data')/foo/bar, ', ')">

<xforms:label>A comma-separated list</xforms:label>

</xforms:output>

Cheers,

Dave

Re: Displaying a list with the output control

Thanks Dave,

That is exactly what I needed. My problem is that I did not know of that
function... after some research I found it part of xpath 2.0. Does that
mean that the xpath engine is base on version 2.0 of XPATH ?

Inquiring mind wanted to know...

Re: Displaying a list with the output control

As I understand it, Orbeon uses Saxon as it's XPath engine which, because it's an XSLT 2.0 engine, supports XPath 2.0.

That's right, we use XPath 2.0. There is no coming back to 1.0 once you
have tasted 2.0 ;-)
