Hi Hasan,

You can use the src attribute to have the instance loaded :

<xforms:instance id="stations"
  src="http://db.nees.ucsb.edu/exist/rest/db?_query=doc('/pub/stations.xml')"/>

The select control has an itemset with a nodeset attribute.  Sorry that the
xpath and all looks complicated. Note that you can have both items and itemsets,
so you can have a "slect one" etc. :


<xforms:select1 ref="sta" id="sta-select">
 <xforms:item>
    <xforms:value/>
    <xforms:label> Select Station ... </xforms:label>
  </xforms:item>
  <xforms:itemset nodeset="instance('stations')//pfarr[@name='Sta_Info']/pfarr">
    <xforms:value value="upper-case(@name)"/>
    <xforms:label><xforms:output value="concat(upper-case(@name),' - ',pfstring[@name='Description'])"/></xforms:label>
  </xforms:itemset>
</xforms:select1>


<xforms:itemset nodeset="instance('stations')//pfarr[@name='Sta_Info']/pfarr">
  <xforms:value value="upper-case(@name)"/>
  <xforms:label><xforms:output value="concat(upper-case(@name),' - ',pfstring[@name='Description'])"/></xforms:label>
</xforms:itemset>


HTH,
Hank
