Uses javascript and xforms:dispatch to modify the instance

Hi
I have an XForm where I am trying to use Javascript and xforms:dispatch to modify the instance. This is what I did as a solution:
I give the instance an empty root element when it doesn't contain the @src (to avoid getting an xforms error (it is invalid XForms to have an empty
instance element).  Then I would try to set the @src on the instance when the
xforms-model-construct is fired.  The model won't kick of the loading of
the instance document until the default handling of
xforms-model-construct, so the handler should happen before that.  I
tested this out but it does not work.

I have attached the code here (including an xml file resetInstance.xml). For me it throws an unknown error:

-I
view.xhtml
resetInstance.xml

<xforms:submission>.

Hi Alex
How can I use an AVT in the action attribute of
<xforms:submission>?

Is it like an XPATH in curly braces{}

You can't dynamically change the @src on an instance. Instead, you can
run a submission that replaces the instance. If you need the URL to be
dynamic, you can use an AVT in the action attribute of
<xforms:submission>.
