iframe in xforms?

Is it possible to use an HTML iframe element in an xform, such that when
something is selected on a form, the frame loads a sub-form to edit the
details? The normal HTML way to do this is to have a hyperlink or a
button that targets the frame. Ultimately I'd like to change the
sub-form when the user clicks something in a tree-style select1 control.
An experiment shows that an iframe is possible, but how do I change the
inner form when the user clicks something in the tree?

Thanks,
-Jim

Ah, I just found the xxforms:target attribute and got it working.

I found a solution to both problems:

• I found the "xxforms:target" attribute.
• It turns out the iframe height problem is not specific to Orbeon. I found a Javascript solution here.

Love it when people find answers to their own questions and share it  
with the list :-)
