xforms:help and xforms:repeat

Hi,

I would like to provide an xforms:help for a group of xforms:input elements using xforms:repeat:

<xforms:repeat nodeset="etc">

<xforms:input ref=".">

<xforms:setvalue ev:event="DOMFocusIn" ref="etc1">xx</xforms:setvalue>

[<xforms:help>blah</xforms:help>]

</xforms:input>

</xforms:repeat>

xforms:help (and xforms:hint) can only appear within xforms:input, xforms:output. If I insert one within the input (as shown in bracket above), I would get something like this:

How do I bind only one help element per group of repeated inputs? Is there any means I could place a standalone xforms:help element somewhere, say before or after the input boxes?

Regards,

Boon

Hi Boon,

You could do something like:

<xforms:repeat nodeset="etc">
<xforms:input ref=".">
<xforms:setvalue ev:event="DOMFocusIn"
ref="etc1">xx</xforms:setvalue>
</xforms:input>
<xforms:group ref=".[count(preceding-sibling::node) = 0]">
<xforms:output value="''">
<xforms:help>gaga</xforms:help>
</xforms:output>
</xforms:group>
</xforms:repeat>

The help here is not on the input anymore, but on a new output which
is just displayed if we are in the first iteration.
