Form hidden after updating to orbeon-3.9.0.pre.201103180400-CE

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade to a pre 3.9 nightly build, but have hit a problem with my forms being invisible when they load. The problem seems to be that the form has the style "xforms-initially-hidden", but I can't see why this is occurring. Is there any obvious reason of what may be happening?

Regards,
Neil

I suspect this is related to the theme, as replacing my theme which worked with 3.8 with the theme-plain.xsl displays some of the elements of my form. I was wondering if something has changed about the way the XForms engine generates the XHTML in 3.9 and/or are there any layout settings for backward compatibility?

Regards,
Neil

I found the problem, and in case this affects anyone else post the solution below:

The problem was that I was using a theme based on the file "theme-plain.xsl" from an early 3.8 release. This contained the following extract:

            <xhtml:body>
               
                <xsl:apply-templates select="/xhtml:html/xhtml:body/@*"/>
               
                <xsl:apply-templates select="/xhtml:html/xhtml:body/node()"/>
            </xhtml:body>
           
            <xsl:for-each select="/xhtml:html/xhtml:head/xhtml:script">
                <xsl:element name="xhtml:{local-name()}" namespace="{namespace-uri()}">
                    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
                </xsl:element>
            </xsl:for-each>


The latest 3.9 preview build has the following alternative to this:

            <xsl:apply-templates select="/xhtml:html/xhtml:body"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="/xhtml:html/xhtml:script"/>


I swapped in this code and the forms are visible again.

Neil
