Submission replace instance

Hi all,

I want to use an auto-complete control in a repeat section. To populate
each list on user action, I must have a nodeset reference for each
select1 auto-complete. If I can embed this nodeset into the main
instance, it would be easy to do that.

Would'nt it be usefull to target a particular node to be replaced in a
submission or am I thinking the wrong way to do that ?

Thanks,

Marc,

Do you mean that you would like to insert the result of the submission
at a particular place in the target instance, instead of replacing the
entire target instance?

I think it would be good to have such a feature, and this has been
proposed within the XForms Working Group in the past, but I don't think
this is scheduled for XForms 1.1.

However you can achieve the same result with xforms:insert and
xforms:delete and a temporary result instance. Just store the resulting
instance into that instance. Then use xforms:insert/@origin to insert
that temporary instance into a certain spot into another instance.

Note that the XForsm 1.1 @origin attribute is post OPS 3.0.1, so you
will need a reasonably recent build. Here is some information about the
@context and @origin attributes on xforms:insert:

I hope this makes some sense ;-)

Yes that's it.

Yes it makes sense and it works ;-)

BTW, I found a problem in the repeat section with a select1
auto-complete control.
It seems that the index of the repeat section is not update when there's
a select1 auto-complete control.

See the attached file.

Marc,

I assume this is the same problem as #1 you mention in your email
"Problems with select1 auto-complete in repeat", problem which is now
fixed. If this is another issue, please let us know.
