field labels invisible in repeated grid - nightly build

jeffhu
Hi,

I'm new to both Orbeon and XForms. I am building an application based on the nightly build version, because I need the repeatable grid function. The client wants to be able to use the form builder in the future to update the forms so manual xforms programming is out of question.

A problem I ran into is the lack of support of labels inside the grid. The forms builder does not allow input of lables to the fields. When I manually edit the source and put in the labels in the resources section, the labels are not visible except the first row of fields.

Here is how it looks like:



My first question is whether this is the intended behavior for the eventual release version? If so would it be possible to make it overridable by using a runner property?

Now the client is willing to accept some minor editing in the source code. Is there a simple way to make the (manually input) labels visible?

Any information would be much appreciated.

regards, Jeff

Thanks Erik!

I'm looking forward to the release version. For now I'm resorting to putting the labels in extra rows in the grid (with some manual fixing there as well ;)).

regards,
Jeff
