results of transformation effected by components.xsl

Hi
I am trying to understand the purpose of the XSL file components.xsl for the form builder.
To me, it appears that it converts the XForm built in the builder directly to html and not to any intermediate XForm that has <:table> </table> in it. Is that understanding right?

The reason for my asking this question was as follows:
Alex had pointed out to me about the utility of components.xsl in the context of converting the XForm generated by the builder into an XForm that can be loaded up in the normal XForm sandbox?
I am interested in applying this transformation, and the preferred method to do it?

thanks

Re: Re: results of transformation effected by components.xsl

Hi Rich
Thanks for pointing this out to me. The scenario outlined by you is exactly what I am looking at.
Erik's hack for us is as below (?):
Check the "Edit document" page flow entry for the Form Runner app. You would have to create a new page flow entry for the export. You pretty much want the same functionality as this, except you don't want the XForms engine to run on the output. You could create just a page model putting together the "Edit document" page model and view, and then serialize that out yourself instead of going through the epilogue.

Have you been able to accomplish Erik's hack?

thanks
i

The output of the components.xsl transformation contains XHTML AND
XForms. Some of the XForms markup comes from the input form, and some
is added by components.xsl.
