is it possible to control the position of checkboxes?

Jency Chackummoottil

Hi,

 

I have a select control in my form which has got 3 items(checkboxes). I have the absolute positions of each checkboxes. Is there any way by which I can control the position of checkboxes inside the select control? Following xml shows a sample xml code which specifies the location of the select control and each checkboxes within that.

 

<checkgroup sid="benefits">

 

               <xforms:select appearance="full" ref="benefits">

                  <xforms:label></xforms:label>

                  <xforms:item>

                     <xforms:label></xforms:label>

                     <xforms:value>be1</xforms:value>

                     <xforms:extension>    à this tag specifies the location of the checkbox relative to the select control

                        <itemlocation>

                           <y>7</y>

                           <x>6</x>

                        </itemlocation>

                     </xforms:extension>

                  </xforms:item>

                  <xforms:item>

                     <xforms:label></xforms:label>

                     <xforms:value>be2</xforms:value>

                     <xforms:extension>

                        <itemlocation>

                           <x>26</x>

                           <y>7</y>

                        </itemlocation>

                     </xforms:extension>

                  </xforms:item>

                  <xforms:item>

                     <xforms:label></xforms:label>

                     <xforms:value>be3</xforms:value>

                     <xforms:extension>

                        <itemlocation>

                           <x>48</x>

                           <y>7</y>

                        </itemlocation>

                     </xforms:extension>

                  </xforms:item>

                 

               </xforms:select>

 

               <itemlocation>   à this represents the absolute position of the select control

                  <x>641</x>

                  <y>1</y>

                  <width>233</width>

                  <height>22</height>

               </itemlocation>

               <value></value>

            </checkgroup>

 

I need to convert this xml to XHTML + XForms in such a way that the checkboxes are positioned as specified in the above xml.

 

Thanks in advance

Jency

Hi Jency,

I may be wrong, but currently, I fear that this is not possible save for
writing a lot of JavaScript.

However, we have the following feature planned, for which I just entered
an RFE:

http://forge.objectweb.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=307251&group_id=168&atid=350207

By using classes on the items instead, you could then specify the
absolute position of the checkboxes.
