Single Checkbox Production and Its Binding

I have been thinking of creating a *single* checkbox whose checked or unchecked value will decide whether a succeeding input box is enabled or not.

At [1], the use of XForms’ select-choices-item approach is demonstrated to produce checkbox, but it appears to be meaningful only when multiple check boxes are expected, am I right on this perception?

I tried the <xhtml:input type=”checkbox” ..> approach, and it produces what I wanted: a single checkbox, but I am still looking for the solution of binding it to the succeeding input box. Does anyone know how to do that?

Regards,

Spenser

Re: Single Checkbox Production and Its Binding

You could try using a <xforms:select1> - see http://mail-archive.objectweb.org/ops-users/2006-07/msg00041.html - to set a boolean flag which could be used to control the display of your input.

No, you can use only one checkbox.

You are in trouble if you try to mix HTML controls and XForms controls.
Just use XForms:

<xforms:select>
<xforms:label/>
<xforms:item>
<xforms:label>Select me!</xforms:label>
<xforms:value>selected</xforms:value>
</xforms:item>
</xforms:select>

RE: Single Checkbox Production and Its Binding

Thanks for tips from Adrian and Erik.

But I found a weird symptom described below:
a) If the input field next to the checkbox IS bound to the checkbox
selection result, then the checkbox can have only one-way change: from
checked (ticketed) to unchecked (unticketed) and then the input field will
transit to readonly. But it's not reversible - can't change back to checked
from unchecked.
b) If commented out the statement of binding the input field next to the
checkbox selection result, the checkbox can be toggled.

Anyone has a clue?

But goal is till to be able to toggle the checkbox and reflect it onto the
attribute readonly of the next input field.

Attached is my example, which is actually modified and trimmed down from
view.xhtml of XForms Control example as some may have noticed.

Regards,

Spenser

Re: Single Checkbox Production and Its Binding

Hi Spenser,

I would guess your readonly property on <driverslicence> is being propagated down to the attributes, which means the checkbox is becoming readonly as well as your input. From http://www.w3.org/TR/xforms/slice6.html#model-prop-readOnly:

"Inheritance Rules: If any ancestor node evaluates to true, this value is treated as true. Otherwise, the local value is used."

You may need to change your instance data structure to get this to work.

RE: Single Checkbox Production and Its Binding

Hi Adrian,

Yes, the one-way change indicates that it is the outcome of the logic “OR”ed result of the evaluated readonly property of the local and every ancestor nodes.

I’ll restructure my instance data.

Thanks,

Spenser

In reply to this post by Adrian Baker

Adrian / Spenser,

This is correct. Readonly-ness on elements propagates to attributes, so
once your element becomes read-only, so becomes the checkbox, and you
are stuck.

It all depends whether you want many such checkboxes in your form, but
if you only have one (or just a few), you can bind it a node in another
instance, and use setvalue to set the ui:is-selected flag in your main
instance.

Adrian / Spenser,

This is correct. Readonly-ness on elements propagates to attributes, so
once your element becomes read-only, so becomes the checkbox, and you
are stuck.

It all depends whether you want many such checkboxes in your form, but
if you only have one (or just a few), you can bind it a node in another
instance, and use setvalue to set the ui:is-selected flag in your main
instance.
