Hi Arjun,

What do you mean "create an input dynamically"? Do you need to populate an input based on the result? Or decide the type of the input based on the result?

Re: Dynamic Controls

Hi Alex,

Based on the response from web service I want to display a input control Dynamically,For example I have a response say as below

Sample.xml

<body>
<result>
<controls>
<row1>
<col1>col1</col1>
<col2>col2</col2>
</row1>

<row2>
<col1>col1</col1>
<col2>col2</col2>
</row2>

<row2>
<col1>col1</col1>
<col2>col2</col2>
</row2>

</controls>
</result>
<body>

So from the above response I want to have a repeat section which has the ability to dynamically create input controls and also ability to add the controls if we click on the '+' icon form the repeat section.

Regards
Arjun.

With Form Builder, the first steps are:

1. Insert a New Repeat
2. Add your input controls to the repeat
3. Name the repeat and input controls

This will create a repeated grid with the +/- buttons.

The second part is to figure out how to fill-out the data in response
from the web service. I fear that you can't do this directly from the
form builder UI at this point. Form Builder actions don't handle
repeats yet.

So, you would then have to write a piece of XForms to do that.

Arjun,

Here is a working example:

https://gist.github.com/ebruchez/6518825

The interesting bit is the XForms action starting with:

<xf:action ev:event="xforms-submit-done" observer="foo-submission">
