Oky, I got more Information on this problem,

 

Orbeon seems to remove only the first Form Tag in der Document … all following formtags remain unchanged, why is this happening ?

Hello,

 

i have a HTML Form in a JSP-Page, which orbeon shouldn’t touch. Orbeon keeps removing the <form> tag around this form, but this special form must not be handled by orbeon, it’s a form to a external search and should be treated like that.

 

I have something like this :

 

<form action=http://www.someadress.xyz/do/some/action method=”post”>

<input name=”param” type=”text”/>

<input value=”Search” type=”submit”>

</form>

 

And Orebeon removes the enclosing <form> , so this is the result:

<input name=”param” type=”text”/>

<input value=”Search” type=”submit”>

 

How to stop orbeon from doing this ?

 

Best regards

 

Christian

Christian,

> Can anybody help me with this Problem ?

sorry, i don't have a quick solution, but my first idea after reading
your first post was "why not implementing that form in xforms, too?".
Are there specific reasons for not refactoring the form into a xforms
syntax? I think only four components are required for this:

In the xhtml:head (xforms:model):
- a xforms:instance to hold the form values;
- a xforms:submission to post the instance to the target URI;

In the xhtml:body:
- some xforms:inputs bound to the instance to edit the values;
- a xforms:submit to trigger the submission.

Using that approach, you don't have to care about orbeon's handling of
xhtml:form elements.

Christian,

Orbeon Forms doesn't remove your first form, or moves your second one
after its own form. The browser (at least Firefox) does that, when
presented with invalid markup. In fact Orbeon Forms doesn't touch your
forms; it just adds its own form around everything. So the markup sent
to the browser looks like:

<form id="xforms-form">
    <form id="your-first-form">...</form>
    ...
    <form id="your-second-form">...</form>
</form>

This of course is not valid, as you are not allowed to nest HTML
forms. Orbeon Forms doesn't know how to deal with <form> elements
inside the markup it receives. Maybe it should just fail if it finds a
<form> element in the XForms you wrote. The only way I see out of this
is to add your form after Orbeon Forms ran. If you have a JSP, since
Orbeon Forms runs from a filter, maybe you can add your own filter
after that.

When deploying the XForms inside the Orbeon Forms war file (not using
JSPs), for this we use the theme stylesheet, which runs after XForms.
And you can in fact see this in action in the examples, as a search
form is added to every page by the theme, adding with a small search
text field at the top right of the screen, e.g.:
