Hold data from an instance? I'm sorry, I don't know exactly what you're looking for.  Right now if you bind a nodeset to a textarea, it will display all of the contents of the nodeset, but I want, upon changes to the nodeset in the textarea, that the appropriate node be updated in the instance. That doesn't happen now - it just gets reset to the original instance's data.

So if I have

<instance id="myinstance">
        <project>
                <files>
                        <file>
                                <filename>name1</filename>
                                <createdBy>steve</createdBy>
                        </file>
                        <file>
                                <filename>name2</filename>
                                <createdBy>bob</createdBy>
                        </file>
                </files>
        </project>
</instance>

I would see (if I do ref="instance('myInstance')/files" in the xforms:textarea)

Name1
Steve

Name2
Bob

In the textarea.  And then if I make changes in the textarea, like bob becomes Ted, I want it to update the instance to be:

 <instance id="myinstance">
        <project>
                <files>
                        <file>
                                <filename>name1</filename>
                                <createdBy>steve</createdBy>
                        </file>
                        <file>
                                <filename>name2</filename>
                                <createdBy>Ted</createdBy>
                        </file>
                </files>
        </project>
</instance>

It has to be displayed in a textarea, also (or something that looks like one to the normal user at least) :)

Thanks,
Stephanie

Stephanie,

What would the nodeset do?
