Hi
I have enclosed a snippet containing code for a dialog box. I need to place three input fields, two buttons, and a three column table with headers. The goal is to have data entered into the table dynamically using xforms:repeat, I think. Right now, I am unable to have the table placed inside the dialog box although the table is placed inside the <xxforms:dialog> </xxforms:dialog> What is happening is that the table is written outside my dialog box on the form and the hyperlink that is throwing up the popup in the first place is shifted to a different spot on the form. I wonder what is happening here. Any pointers are appreciated. xxforms_dialog_box.txt |

Maybe you could try to put the xxforms:dialog anywhere else (i usually put it directly into the xhtml:body).

Yes, it is indeed nested in an existing table on the parent XForm. But I would like it to appear in a certain spot on my parent XForm. In my case I want it to appear next to a certain input control on my XForm because that is where it makes sense to the user.
Maybe my understanding of CSS is not great, but trying to understand your suggestion, I think you are suggesting that I use some sort of positioning to place my "repeat" structure table where I want it to.

You can't nest it within other XForms or XHTML elements. -Erik -- Orbeon Forms - Web Forms for the Enterprise Done the Right Way http://www.orbeon.com/ -- You receive this message as a subscriber of the [hidden email] mailing list.

Dialogs are positioned in two ways in Orbeon Forms, depending on the
appearance. See: http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/reference-xforms-2#dialog-dialog Currently you can't position a dialog next to a control unless you use the "minimal" appearance. Otherwise the dialog will be centered on the page. -Erik On Jan 30, 2008, at 5:40 AM, XGuy wrote: > > Yes, it is indeed nested in an existing table on the parent XForm. > But I > would like it to appear in a certain spot on my parent XForm.
