Re: xforms:upload updating two parts of the model

Hi Mark,

Not sure, but I think you may have suggested that an xforms-value-changed 
(XVC) will happen on the filename child element of an upload.
Just in case that's what you meant, the current spec does not support that 
because the ref used in filename is not a UI binding.  Only full-blown 
form controls receive events from the model corresponding to their UI 
bindings.

It may work in an implementation that treats every ref as a UI binding, 
but then you have odd stuff happening like XVC events going to setvalue 
and such.

Hi Nuno,

Have you tried hooking an xf:insert action handler onto the
xforms-value-changed event? Unfortunately, one of the quirks about
XForms 1.x is that you can only hook the XVC event in a UI control, so
it will 'feel' wrong to do this. But anyway, putting that aside,
register for the change on the file id, and when you get it, test for
the existence of the element, and if it doesn't exist create it from a
template. Then copy in the file id.

Regards,

Mark
