ORBEON.xforms.Document.setValue updates field but not instance

Hi there

My form field is bound to an instance and when i enter data manually it updates the instance correctly.

But when I jquery to populate the field. This only half works as it does populate the actual form field but does not change the underlying instance.

If i enter then field and just hit space bar after the jquery inserted text it will then update but not when the jquery inserts the data

This the js called in the jquery document ready function I am using (focus() used for testing purposes).

$(".myinput").focus(function() {
    var myId = $(this).attr('id');
    alert("i am trying to update " + myId);
    ORBEON.xforms.Document.setValue(myId, "test");
    });

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

See below a full example where this works, in span mode (now the
default in nightly builds). Note that the id you must use in the
setValue() is the id of the XForms control. This is the id you have on
<xforms:input>, if you have one, and otherwise one is generated for
you. The id of the HTML input is different, at least in span mode.
