Unable to make a readonly element in a repeat set

Hi All,
I have an issue with a repeat set element, where some fields become editable/readonly depending on conditions. To start with in the xf:model I have given readonly to be always true(). In the repeat element, I have a xf:input, because the readonly attribute is set to true, I was expecting an input box which is not editable. However, I am able to edit the input there.

To reproduce, you may use the example that i have attached along with this (2KB). You can see that I have marked the street to be readonly but when I show a xf:input object it is allowing me to edit. Am I missing something here?

You are almost there. Try:

<xforms:bind nodeset="instance('main')/address/street" readonly="true
()"/>

Re: Unable to make a readonly element in a repeat set

Hi Alexandar,
I would like to ask a couple of questions on xforms:select1. The xf:input seems to honour the readonly flag set. However I am not able to get the xf:select1 to become readonly in the same way, for example, if I try (kindly refer to the same example),

<xforms:bind nodeset="instance('main')/address/city" readonly="true()"/>

1) Then I would expect the xforms:select1 to be readonly *although* I have given some itemsets/options. Can you comment on this?
2) I also have an issue with the size of the xf:select1 box. I have like 5-6 boxes in the same row in my UI all of them having autosuggests. I have trouble because although the fields are actually 3-4 chars in length setting xxforms:size="3" doesnt reflect on the UI. (Note setting the same attribute on xf:input element seems to work though)

Can you advice on the above two issues?
Regards,
Kannan

Re: Unable to make a readonly element in a repeat set

Kannan,

I do not think the @selection="open" will work in OPS. If you remove it you will see that you can make the select control read-only.

As for controlling width of the select control I have always use CSS to do that - see attached (I added xhtml namespace declaration too).

Re: Unable to make a readonly element in a repeat set

Alexandar,
2) I am ok with your suggestion about setting xhtml:class attribute
1) I wouldnt be able to employ the suggestion here *because* the list of options are generally huge and I do not keep the full list in xml. Only when a value is changed, I sort of make a http request, replace the options instance with what typically comes from a database. Hence selection="open", am afraid could not be removed.

Having said that, let me know if this feature is planned sometime in Orbeon?

Kannan

Re: Unable to make a readonly element in a repeat set

Forgot to add one more thing. Given my constraints like I should load the instance only when user enters atleast the first letter of city (since my list of cities is large) and I should make it readonly based on some constraints, Can you advice, Is there any other *alternative* which I should look at?

Re: Unable to make a readonly element in a repeat set

I was wrong about selection="open"

The "Google Suggests" is an example how to use it. DId you take a look at that?

Hi Kannan,

Is the issue that you can't set an auto-complete field to be read-only
with a <xforms:bind nodeset="..." readonly="true()"/>?

Re: Unable to make a readonly element in a repeat set

Correct !!!

I have a set of items(modelled using a xf:repeat) and the item number is a auto-complete field (whose instance xml is not statically present in the xml when the page is rendered, but queried when some value is changed). I want to set the readonly attribute based on some condition. If there are 5 rows in the table then it is possible that 2 rows can be set to readonly, where as for other 3 rows I would want autocomplete to happen :)

PS: I intend to substitute readonly="true()" with readonly="instance('items')/item/itemRejected = 'true' then true() else false()", which is based on a condition in the model.

Hi Kannan,

Is the issue that you can't set an auto-complete field to be read-only

Alexandar,
Not sure If I had put the message clear.

I have seen the Google suggest, and I have a working auto-complete field in my application. Only problem is in making that field selectively readonly based on some conditions in the model.

Understood. I created a bug for this; you can track it at:

Re: Unable to make a readonly element in a repeat set

Alessandro,
Apologies If I am not doing the right thing
1) Do you want me to try it in the sandbox at this link? http://www.orbeon.com/ops/goto-example/xforms-sandbox
I tried it with the file that I have attached. The issue is not fixed there

2) Or You want me to try the nightly build at
http://forge.objectweb.org/project/showfiles.php?group_id=168
I have started the download of the 3.5M1 release. Let me know if that is the release you want me to try against.

Alessandro,
I guess you are asking to me run it against the nightly build found at
http://forge.objectweb.org/nightlybuilds/ops/ops/

I downloaded the war, tried my xhtml and it seems to work fine.

I also did some conditional readonly stuff as follows,
<xforms:bind nodeset="instance('main')/address/city" readonly="if(../readonly = 'true') then true() else false()">
</xforms:bind>

Even that seems to work fine.

Thanks a lot!!!!

Yes, sorry, I forgot to mention when you could get that build.
