validate = false

Hi,

I'm trying to dynamically set the validate="false" attribute on my
XForms submission, but it seems I'm unable to do so.

I have the code:

<xforms:submission id="submit_model_Document"
ref="instance('instance_model_Document')"
action="{xxforms:instance('url')/serverpath}/read-xform.php?action={xxforms:instance('url')/submit/submitaction}"
method="post" validate="{xxforms:instance('url')/validate}" />

with the value of instance('url')/validate equalling "false", but it
appears that this doesn't work.

Does the fact that this value is set automatically mean that the value
of "validate" equals true...??

How can I achieve this?

I don't think you can do this, only certain fields allow AVTs, one solution
is to create two submissions one true one false and call

Then do something like

<xforms:send submission="submit_model_Document_true"
        if="xxforms:instance('url')/validate = 'true'"/>
<xforms:send submission="submit_model_Document_false"
        if="xxforms:instance('url')/validate = 'false'"/>

Hope this helps

Colin,

I find the reference a little ambiguous because the
text for relevant says "...evaluates to false()" but
not so for validate.  

Do you mean the value of the node is the text "false" or
the text "false()" or "true()" i.e., the Boolean functions?

Perhaps you need to:

validate="boolean({xxforms:instance('url')/validate})"

or

validate="{xxforms:instance('url')/validate}='true'"

Colin,

@validate does not support AVTs at the moment, in other words it must be
static, i.e. validate="false" or validate="true". I added an RFE to
enhance this:

Thanks guys.

I've gone with Ryan's solution at the moment but look forward to AVT support! :-)

For other people's benefit, here's my working code:

<xforms:trigger>
        <xforms:label ref="instance('url')/submit/submittext"></xforms:label>
        <xforms:action ev:event="DOMActivate">
            <xforms:send submission="submit_model_Document_false" if="xxforms:instance('url')/validate = 'false'"/>
            <xforms:send submission="submit_model_Document_true" if="xxforms:instance('url')/validate = 'true'"/>
        </xforms:action>
    </xforms:trigger>
