RE: Problems with xforms:select

Hi Alex,

You may have figured this one out already but I also had this problem
and it is to do with whitespace in the <xforms:value/> element. You need
to replace any whitespace with the space character  

So, if you change...

<xforms:value >Personal visit</xforms:value>

...to...

<xforms:value >Personal visit</xforms:value>

...you should find it works ok.

Cheers

Subject: [ops-users] Problems with xforms:select

I'm currently running an app under version 200702202124 and am having
some problems with an xforms:select statement.

I've generated 2 xpl files alexs-epilogue-servlet.xpl and
alexs-epilogue.xpl which are attached.

When you try and select a number of options, it sometimes takes more
than one attempt to select an option, or when you select 1 some of the
others disappear ( but not all)

This happens for firefox and ie7

The select statement is
<xhtml:p>
<xhtml:font size="4">
<xforms:select
ref="/survey/questions/question1/howraised" appearance="full">
<xforms:choices>
<xforms:item >
<xforms:label >Personal visit to a
helpdesk</xforms:label>
<xforms:value >Personal
visit</xforms:value>
</xforms:item>
<xforms:item >
<xforms:label
>Telephone</xforms:label>
<xforms:value
>Telephone</xforms:value>
</xforms:item>
<xforms:item >
<xforms:label >Email</xforms:label>
<xforms:value >Email</xforms:value>
</xforms:item>
<xforms:item >
<xforms:label >Web self
service</xforms:label>
<xforms:value >Web</xforms:value>
</xforms:item>
<xforms:item >
<xforms:label >Other</xforms:label>
<xforms:value >Other</xforms:value>
</xforms:item>
</xforms:choices>
</xforms:select>
</xhtml:font>
</xhtml:p>

reading a file with the above statement in it from firefox works just
fine

Anyone seen problems with multiple selections before?
Alex

RE: Problems with xforms:select

Many thanks Rob,

Was just getting down to looking at it. I'd set up a small simple test
page that did work so was just wondering what to chop back in my orig
app

Again
Many thanks
alex
