relationship between xforms:bind and xforms:output

Hi,

Should xforms:bind have any effect on xforms:output ?

I want to output a date I used xforms:bind to set the type to date but the xforms:output still displayed it as a string, is that what its meant to do ?

I then used xforms:input with a bind setting readonly=”true()” which works OK but the cursor still changes to a hand when put over the date value.

regards

Doug

Doug,

xforms:output bound to an xs:date type is meant to format the date
according to the default format in properties.xml or to an explicit
format using xforms:output/@xxforms:format. This appears to work
correctly with the current XForms Controls example.

Also make sure that you point to the node that has the xs:date type
with an <xforms:output ref="..."/>, not <xforms:output value="..."/>.
