RE: Does Xforms bind foce ajax

Span tags are meant to format text, not inputs.
please review the following code in IE and tell me what works:

<html>
<body>
<form>
<span style="font-size:11px;font-weight:bold">
<input type="text" name="doesnotwork">
</span>
<input type="text" name="styley"
style="font-size:11px;font-weight:bold">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Putting this code in the native java is a buzkill.

Not sure what you mean here.

Note that xforms-to-ajax-xhtml.xsl is no longer used: we should take it
out of the code base (just did that in the CVS). The translation to HTML
is now done natively in Java.

This said, we do put <span> around <input>. But all the OPS examples do
work with IE, and they too have <span> around <input>. What is the
specific problem you are seeing?

The only way for now is to use XForms Classic, but then you don't get
any of the XForms improvements in OPS 3.0. In other words, you get
fairly limited XForms support with Classic.
