OPS Newbie question

Hi,
Sorry to bother you folks (posting this message at the risk of asking
the wrong group): I'm an OPS newbie and am struggling to see my xforms
controls on the XForms sandbox (the samples that come with OPS seem to
display fine, but something as simple as the following doesn't show up
right - I see the title, but that's about it. I don't get any error
either). What could I have missed?

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms">
<head>
<title>My first OPS test</title>
<xforms:model xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms">
<xforms:instance id="name">
<myform>
<first-name>some name</first-name>
</myform>
</xforms:instance>
</xforms:model>
</head>
<body>
<xforms:group>
<xforms:output value="test" />
</xforms:group>
</body>
</html>

Any pointer is appreciated.
Thanks,
Vidya

RE: OPS Newbie question

I think you are in the fefault namespce trap, try adding xmlns="" to
you <nmyform> node in your instance. Also you may want to consider
Omitting the default namespace (xmlsns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml")
and Defining each xhtml node as xhtml:<nodename> and any other node you
might add using namespace:nodename notation.

Thankyou for the quick response...

I tried several combinations including the following, but still no
luck... it displays the title and the 'hello' in the xhtml <p> tag fine,
but not the xforms:output control. As though it has some problem with
the xforms ns...

(Is there a sample helloworld source that I can use to start from... if
I cut and paste the view source on the helloworld example, I get a null
pointer exception)

<x:html xmlns:x="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms">
<x:head>
<x:title>Trying hard</x:title>
<xforms:model>
<xforms:instance id="name">
<myform xmlns="">
<first-name>MyName</first-name>
</myform>
</xforms:instance>
</xforms:model>
</x:head>
<x:body>
<x:p>hello</x:p>
<xforms:group>
<xforms:output value="Test" />
</xforms:group>
</x:body>
</x:html>

Thanks,

RE: OPS Newbie question

Try changing your xforms:output from value="Test" to ref="first-name"
put "Vidya" in the first-name node fo your instance.
Also you may want to add a xforms:label as a child node of the output
control.

Hi Vidya,

In <xforms:output value="..."/>, in the "value" attribute you have an
XPath expression. So you just write Test there, it will display the
text value of the element Test. Since there is no such element,
nothing will be displayed.

If you want to display the string Test, you need to write:
<xforms:output value="'Test'"/> (note the single quotes). The modified
XHTML + XForms file is attached to this email.
