Can anyone please help me in doing this (see
the mails below)? This is related to the XSL transformation of an XFDL which
has got repeat controls. Attached please find the related XFDL file. Thanks in advance for your help, Jency From: Jency
Chackummoottil [mailto:[hidden email]] 1. <below>Projects</below> is a way to say <below compute="itemprevious"/> when the current control does not
follow the control with id="Projects". If we implement <below compute="itemprevious"/>, we can then run a first
stylesheet that reorders the controls and moves controls with
<below>Projects</below> to be just below the control with id="Projects". <below>Projects</below>
means that the current control is below the control with
@sid=”Projects” and its position is relative w.r.t the control with
id=”Projects”. <below
compute="itemprevious"/> means the current control is below the
previous control(ie, the control specified just above the current control in
the source code) 2. <after> seems to be the equivalent to <below> but
positioning to the right instead of below. Yes, <after> is equivalent to
<below> but positioned to the right side of the specified control. Is this correct? Alex On 2/19/07, Jency Chackummoottil <[hidden email]>

Hi Jency,
I made some progress updating the stylesheet to support the XFDL <below> construct. I am using the method which I exposed earlier in this thread. Now it runs fine on your example. See the screenshots attached (xfdl-original.png, xfdl-first-insertion.png, xfdl-second-insertion.png) which show the original form, and the form after 1 and 2 insertions. The complete xfdl directory which you can uncompress in your apps directory is also attached. Compared to what you have already, I believe that I have only updated xfdl-to-xhtml.xpl which contains the stylesheet.

In reply to this post by Jency Chackummoottil
Hi Alex, The XFDL - XHTML conversion works quite well except for a few issues. As you said, I hope we could call a stylesheet to do xsl transformation on xfdl so that we could use XFDL+XForms directly as the view. The issues to be solved are 1) The <format> tag needs to be resolved <format> <datatype>string</datatype> <constraints> <length> <min>0</min> <max>20</max> </length> </constraints> </format> We need to convert all the constraints in the <format> tag in XFDL to the corresponding xforms:bind attributes in XForms. 2) The width and height of an input control cannot be set using <xhtml:div style="position:absolute; top: 53; left: 131;width: 154; height: ;> Attached please find the latest xfdl-to-xhtml.xpl and the xfdl file to be transformed. Hope you could help me. Thanks in advance Jency -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Alessandro Vernet Sent: Friday, March 09, 2007 11:05 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [ops-users] XFDL Integration Hi Jency, Alright - excellent. Let us know how it goes. If you find that automatically converting XFDL+XForms to XHTML+XForms using XSLT is quite workable, we could automatically call a stylesheet like before XForms processing if your view generates XFDL instead of XHTML. This way you could use XFDL+XForms directly as your view. Alex On 3/9/07, Jency Chackummoottil <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi Alex, > > Thanks a lot for your support.
