trying to understand context when deleting nodes inside nested repeats

Philip,

Not 100% sure of what you want to do, but one thing is clearly wrong  
in your broken example. You have these:

   at="index('/metadata/idinfo/crossref/citeinfo-repeat')"

The index() function expects an integer. Here you are passing a string.

Erik,

Wait, you're saying the XPath function index() needs an integer parameter, not a string parameter? Maybe I'm missing something, but what about http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/CR-xforms-20021112/slice7.html#fn-index ? I'm using the 'at' attribute in the same manner within delete_broken.xhtml; both documents have 'at' attributes of <xf:delete> which pass values of repeat ids.

Basically, the gist of what I'm trying to do is to be able to get <xf:delete> to where it will delete the button corresponding to the field it is next to, not simply the last one in a list of repeated fields. You can do this with delete_working.xhtml:

1) Press the "Insert Citation Information" button three times.
2) Type in "abc" next to the "Origin" field within the first Citation Information section.
3) Press the "Delete Citation" button corresponding to the section whose Origin you just modified.
4) The correct field is deleted.


but not with delete_broken.xhtml:

1) Press the "+" button next to the "Cross Reference" field three times.
2) Type in "abc" next to the "Originator" field within the first Cross Reference section.
3) Press the "X" button corresponding to the section whose Originator was just modified.
4) The last created field is deleted, not the one with "abc" in it.
