I have been reading the Orbeon documentation this morning and playing with the form builder application. I was hoping to incorporate this product in a project I am working on, but it seems to have some short comings. I am hoping that someone on the list can answer some of my questions as they don't seems to be clearly addressed in the documentation. Is it possible to use the form builder interface to tie events to control elements? I was trying to build my own "hello world" with the form builder and found that setting up a submit button didn't appear to be possible with the basic controls offered. I read about page flow as well but it was all about the coding and not at all about the Orbeon interface. For my purposes, the application would need to be easily adopted by a non technical user, and so requiring them to write any code, xml or otherwise is out of the question. Perhaps I have just not found the appropriate resources, but this didn't appear to be covered in the turorial, the faq or the documentation. Any help would be appreciated.

The particular case of a Submit button is built into the Form Runner environment. You can configure, on a per-form basis, whether a form has a Save button, a Submit button, a Preview button, and so on. Each does something slightly different with the data. This is documented here: http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/configuration-properties You, as the person setting up the system, would make the configuration hopefully once and for all, and then form authors would not have to take care of handling a submit button explicitly. -Erik -- Orbeon Forms - Web Forms for the Enterprise Done the Right Way http://www.orbeon.com/ -- You receive this message as a subscriber of the [hidden email] mailing list.
