repeated input box copying values

Hi,

The xform below has 2 triggers (add and delete) linked to a repeated
input element. All I want to do is to be able to enter different values
in the repeated elements - but for some reason whatever value I enter in
one of the boxes automatically copies itself to the other boxes as soon
as I tab out or select another box...

I guess there is something wrong with my binding - but I just don't see
it!

Hi Robert,

I modified your example, see attached:

1. The input was not bound to the right node. Since you are in a
repeat, you want to use ref="." instead of a bind attribute.
2. The setvalue in the Add trigger was not executed, because it didn't
have a ev:event="DOMActivate". I added a xforms:action around the
xforms:insert and xforms:setvalue.

I hope this helps,

Alex

RE: repeated input box copying values

Thanks Alex, this seems to work nicely. I am on a bit of a learning curve with these XForms so I really appreciate your help. Also, I picked up on your widget tip - very useful :-)

Thanks again.
Rob
