Sounds reasonable...my thinking this morning when originally reading the question what that it's sort of analogous to any other server-side "templating" approach, e.g. a mixture of HTML and JSP. One doesn't worry about whether that document is well-formed HTML since it doesn't have that purpose but rather is a generator of (hopefully) well-formed HTML for the client to consume...Charlie From: Erik Bruchez <ebruchez@orbeon.com> To: www-forms@w3.org Date: 08/04/2009 12:38 PM Subject: Re: Repeat within HTML table Sent by: www-forms-request@w3.org Alain, Very good question. In Orbeon Forms as well, and for author convenience, we allow xforms:repeat and xforms:group around tr and td within tables, even though it is not "allowed". That could be a problem if a web browser was looking at that DOM directly, but in our case and in yours, or any situation where some sort of transformation takes place first, I do not think it is an actual problem. Wondering what other people think about this. -Erik On Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 5:20 AM, COUTHURES Alain<alain.couthures@agencexml.com> wrote: > Hello, > > While testing EMC Formula XForms engine, I have discovered this in the specs > : > > Thus, one might wish to use element repeat within a table to create the rows > of a table, where each row of the table binds to a distinct member of a > repeat collection.
