select1 depending on xpath expression

Hello,

I need some help with this one, it´s drivin me crazy...

I want to make a search-page where the user can choose from a select1 what to search for.

Then, depending on what he chose, an <input> or maybe another <select1> appears in the same row.

This can be repeated...

It´s almost working but here is my problem:

When my xpath expression gets "true" after some rows are repeated, everything get´s visible then...

I mean, I only want an <xforms:input> to be visible in a specific row, where an xpath expression looks for the value chosen in the select1(but in the same row)

Here is my code:

<xforms:repeat nodeset="instance('search-Data')/search" id="search-repeat">

<tr>

<td>

<xforms:select1 ref="./@Name">

<xforms:item>

<xforms:label>

Choose One Please

</xforms:label>

<xforms:value></xforms:value>/>

</xforms:item>

<xforms:item>

<xforms:label>

Just glancing at it it should work. Can you provide an entire XHTML
+XForms file running in the sandbox so we can look at it?

Re: Re: select1 depending on xpath expression

HEY ERIK,

thx for your help!
Here is a modified "search.xhtml" file to work in the sandbox.
The thing is that it does not work for 100% because when a row is
repeated no labels are inside the select1...

But my problem is still the same because when you choose first
"something1" and then click on "+" and then choose "category" in the
first row where "something1" was selceted before, a select1 appears in
the second row,too..

Sounds horrible, I know...

Re: Re: Re: select1 depending on xpath expression

Administrator

Try simply:

<xforms:input ref=".[@name = 'something1' or @name = 'Something2']/
@textValue">

or even:

<xforms:input ref=".[@name = ('something1', 'Something2')]/@textValue">

and:

<xforms:select1 ref=".[@name='category']/@category">

Note that I found a bug with the recent nightlies that prevented this
to work properly. That's now fixed. But 3.6 probably worked.

Re: Re: Re: Re: select1 depending on xpath expression

Erik,

thank you soooo much!!!
It´s working now and step by step it´s getting better/easier to
understand (Orbeon)XFORMS =)!

While I was making this search.xhtml I was wandering several times if
it´s possible to do the following;

- if the user chose for instance "something1" (which should only occur
max one time, defined in a "search.xsd" )
- then he clicks on "+" and in the new row "something1" is not
available anymore in the "select1" because the search.xsd file give
the restriction...

I absolutely do not know if this is possible but maybe you can give
me a hint...

THX again!
Mase
