Displaying a specific node for editing

Hi everyone,

I'd like to be able to load an XML file, but only display and edit a specific node from that file.  Each has an @id

For example:

<xml>
  <element id="c01">
    <stuff/>
  </element>
  <element id="c02">
    <stuff/>
  </element>
  <element id="c03">
    <stuff/>
  </element>
  <element id="c04">
    <stuff/>
  </element>
  <element id="c05">
    <stuff/>
  </element>
</xml>

Each <element> is fairly complex, so I don't want to display the entire document in the form at one time.  Let's suppose I want to display and edit the one with @id='c04' .  How can I make this possible?

I know I can use xforms:group to do something like this: <xforms:group ref="//element[@id='c04']"> , but I need to be able to do this dynamically.  How can I pass in a variable for @id= instead of hard coding it?

Thanks,
Ethan

Actually, I think I figured it out using a different method:

http://n4.nabble.com/xforms-get-request-parameter-can-only-be-called-during-XForms-initialization-td41710.html#a41710

I ran into problems trying to use get-request-parameter and loading it into a variable.

You can only use xxforms:get-request-parameter() when the page is sent
to the client, which usually means on xforms-model-construct-done. So
you'll need to first store that request parameter in a node of an
instance on xforms-model-construct-done, and you can then use it later
on.
