Hello,
I have asked this on stackoverflow because that is where the orbeon website said to ask questions, but I thought I better post here as well (I will update the stackoverflow one if I get an answer here). I am trying to get an orbeon xforms form-runner box-select control to work. Here is my box-select: <fr:box-select bind="box-select-bind" id="box-select-control"> <xforms:action ev:event="xforms-value-changed"> <xxforms:variable name="selected-value" select="."/> <xforms:message level="modal">Hello:<xforms:output select="$selected-value" /> </xforms:message> </xforms:action> <xforms:itemset nodeset="instance('codes')/box-select/item"> <xforms:label ref="label"/> <xforms:value ref="value"/> </xforms:itemset> </fr:box-select> The binding is to a simple xml file with a node like so <box-results></box-results> The codes XML looks like so: <box-select> <item> <label>Cat</label> <value>cat</value> </item> <item> <label>Dog</label> <value>dog</value> </item> <item> <label>Bird</label> <value>bird</value> </item> <item> <label>Fish</label> <value>fish</value> </item> </box-select> When I check entries in the box, my node "box-results" gets updated with the selected values separated by a space, which seems to be what is expected. However, I can't seem to find any documentation on how to process the selected values. I want to get access to what value was just selected, de-selected and use the value of this item in an xpath. So, if a value was selected then I would do this: <setvalue ref="somexpath[id=$selected-value]/display value="'true'" /> And if a value was deselected I would do this: <setvalue ref="somexpath[id=$selected-value]/display value="'false'" /> Basically, I just want to know the event to use, and how to get access to the value when it fires. Then I want to use this value in an xpath. I am going to use this to hide/display portions of the form. Using the xforms-value-changed event the Xpath "." doesn't return what I would expect, as it does in "select1" controls. Thanks. |
