How do you call a JavaScript function from within a <xforms:select/> on the "xforms-value-changed" event? I've attached a sample view.xhtml where I get the below error when I try to run it:

XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://localhost:8080/orbeon/xforms-sr/view.xhtml?order-id=256
Line Number 1, Column 1:

What I need to be able to do is create a comma separated list of item labels that were chosen in the <select/> control and insert it into the select ref="serverOperatindSystem" elements label attribute. Any ideas on the best way to do this (if not via JavaScript) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Martin,

So compared to what the xforms:select does out of the box, you need the list of selected values to be coma separated, rather than space separated as the xforms:select does "by default"?

RE: Re:

Alex,

Not exactly. We need to populate a GUI control with what that user chose
from the xforms:select (in a Flex app from the xforms generated XML). We
want to display the <label> values. For example, Windows, Unix not
windows, unix. So somehow I need to iterate through the list of selected
values and capture the labels, comma separate the labels and setvalue
them into the @label attribute of the serverOperatingSystem element on
"xforms-value-changed xforms-enabled". This is my guess. If I'm doing
this totally wrong please tell me. This seems to me like something that
should be easy but I'm just not seeing the easy way.

<xforms:instance id="addServer-serverOperatingSystem-instance">
<data>
<row>
<label>Windows</label>
<value>windows</value>
</row>
<row>
<label>Unix</label>
<value>unix</value>
</row>
<row>
<label>Linux</label>
<value>linux</value>
</row>
</data>
</xforms:instance>

This captures the label for a single xforms:select1 list but does not
work for a multi xforms:select list.

<xforms:select1 ref="serverOperatingSystem">

<other stuff needed for select1>

<xforms:action ev:event="xforms-value-changed xforms-enabled">
<xxforms:variable name="theValue"
select="xxforms:instance('addServers-instance')/addServer/serverOperatin
gSystem"/>
<xforms:setvalue
ref="xxforms:instance('addServers-instance')/addServer/serverOperatingSy
stem/@label"
value="xxforms:instance('addServer-serverOperatingSystem-instance')/row[
contains(.//value, $theValue)]/label"/>
<xforms:setvalue
ref="xxforms:instance('addServers-instance')/addServer/serverOperatingSy
stem"
value="xxforms:instance('addServer-serverOperatingSystem-instance')/row[
contains(.//value, $theValue)]/value"/>
</xforms:action>

</xforms:select1>

p.s. this does not work if the data for the list is retrieved from on
.xpl query to our MS SQL Server DB. It only works when the items come
from an xforms:instance. This is a problem I've described (and need to
solve) in the past few days.

Thanks.

Martin

Re: RE: Re:

Martin,

OK, let me see if I understood you this time. An xforms:bind should do
the trick here. I created a stand-alone example that shows this in
action: http://pastie.org/746654. As far as having the data (OS list)
statically or coming in through an XPL call, this really shouldn't
make a difference, as long as it gets into an instance. You'll let me
know how this works for you.

RE: Re: RE: Re:

Alex,

The bind part did not work for me but the xpath expression did. Thank
you. My last problem seems to be that data coming through an XPL is not
making it into the instance before the "xforms-enabled" event is fired.
Is there another event I can use or another technique?

Note: the <xforms:select/> element below is inside a <xforms:repeat/>
element.

<xforms:select ref="serverOperatingSystem">
<xforms:label class="fieldLabel">Operating System:</xforms:label>


<xforms:itemset
nodeset="xxforms:instance('valueListLK-addFilesystem-serverOperatingSyst
em-15-instance')/row"
model="valueListLK-addFilesystem-serverOperatingSystem-15-model">
<xforms:label class="fieldLabel" ref="label"/>
<xforms:value ref="value"/>
</xforms:itemset>

<xforms:action ev:event="xforms-value-changed">
<xxforms:variable name="theLabel" select="string-join(for $value in
tokenize(xxforms:instance('addServers-instance')/addFilesystem[xxforms:i
ndex('addFilesystem-repeat')]/serverOperatingSystem, '\s')
return
xxforms:instance('valueListLK-addFilesystem-serverOperatingSystem-15-ins
tance')/row[value = $value]/label, ',')"/>
<xforms:setvalue
ref="xxforms:instance('addServers-instance')/addFilesystem[xxforms:index
('addFilesystem-repeat')]/serverOperatingSystem/@label"
value="$theLabel"/>
</xforms:action>


<xforms:action ev:event="xforms-enabled">

<xforms:setvalue
ref="xxforms:instance('addServers-instance')/addFilesystem[xxforms:index
('addFilesystem-repeat')]/serverOperatingSystem"

value="xxforms:instance('valueListLK-addFilesystem-serverOperatingSystem
-15-instance')/row[1]/value"/>
<xxforms:variable name="theLabel" select="string-join(for $value in
tokenize(xxforms:instance('addServers-instance')/addFilesystem[xxforms:i
ndex('addFilesystem-repeat')]/serverOperatingSystem, '\s') return
xxforms:instance('valueListLK-addFilesystem-serverOperatingSystem-15-ins
tance')/row[value = $value]/label, ',')"/>
<xforms:setvalue
ref="xxforms:instance('addServers-instance')/addFilesystem[xxforms:index
('addFilesystem-repeat')]/serverOperatingSystem/@label"
value="$theLabel"/>
</xforms:action>
</xforms:select>

Thanks.
