RE: Questions on the WD-XForms-20010608

Hi Mats,
 
the answer to your question is actually not specific to XForms, but the
broader issue of HTML events which we have borrowed for the purposes of
XForms. The Events draft [1] is still undergoing a revision (in other
words: stay tuned), but for the purposes of XForms we have thought of a
shortcut that would look like the following: Given the structure you
provided, you could write
<button>
    <caption>pushme</caption>
    <toggle switch="us" case="uk" />
</button>
 
This is in no way approved yet - please tell us what you think about it.

How is the switch construct supposed to work?
 
By reading the spec I couldn´t really see how the bind between the
action toggle to the switch construct is supposed to work.
 
<switch id="01" default="initial">
  <case id="us">
   <group>
    <caption>Please Specify a US Shipping Address.</caption>
   </group>
  </case>
  <case id="uk">
   <group>
    <caption>Please specify a UK shipping address.</caption>
   </group>
  </case>
  <case id="initial">
   <group>...</group>
  </case>

  
  <onevent id="shippingAddress" registerwith="01" type="dom-click">
         <action id="us">
              <toggle switch="01" case="us"/>
         </action>
  </onevent>
 
</switch>

Is the onevent embedded in the switch construct or?
 
Or is it embedded in the UI-control or in a group element?
 
/Regards
