I am trying to use the autocomplete feature using an external text file:
i followed the instructions of the urls below :
http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/xbl-existing-xbl-components#TOC-Autocomplete
http://www.orbeon.com/orbeon/doc/reference-xforms-guide

i also refered to the xforms-google-suggestion from the orbeon forms, to no avail. Any hints?

my code:

<html xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xxforms="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/xforms"

<head>
<xforms:model>


<xforms:instance id="customer-instance">
        <customers xmlns="" >
                <customer>
                        <firstname/>
                        <lastname/>
                        <age/>
                </customer>
        </customers>
</xforms:instance>

<xforms:instance id="remote">
        <remote/>
</xforms:instance>

<xforms:submission id="suggest"
                serialization="none"
                method="get" action="http://localhost:9080/orbeon/saving/text"
                replace="instance" instance="remote"/>

</xforms:model>
</head>

<body>

<xforms:group ref="customer">
<xforms:input ref="firstname" incremental="true()" >
                                        <xforms:label>First Name</xforms:label>
                                </xforms:input>
                                <xforms:input ref="lastname" incremental="true()" >
                                        <xforms:label>Last Name</xforms:label>
                                </xforms:input>
                                <xforms:input ref="age" incremental="true()" >
                                        <xforms:label>Age</xforms:label>
                                </xforms:input>
       


 
<fr:autocomplete ref="instance('customer-instance')" dynamic-itemset="false"
                 style="width: 15em">
    <xforms:label>Enter a country name: </xforms:label>
    <xforms:itemset nodeset="instance('remote')/name">
        <xforms:label ref="fname"/>
        <xforms:value ref="fname"/>
    </xforms:itemset>
    <xforms:send ev:event="xforms-value-changed" submission="suggest"/>
</fr:autocomplete>

</xforms:group>
</body>
</html>
