AW: Bindings to non-existing instance:data

Hello,
 
What I want to do is the following: 
I would like to define some input field like:
 
<xforms:input ref="topicmap/topic/topicName">
    <xforms:label>Topic Name:</xforms:label>
</xform:input>
 
<xforms:input ref=" topicmap/topic/@id">
    <xforms:label>Topic ID:</xforms:label>
</xform:input>
 
....
 
Is it possible to define somehow that as soon as the user has done some input on these fields the according elements (or attributes) in the instance are created ?
 
wbr,
Roman

Greetings Roman, the section describing the xforms-form-control-initialize Event describes what happens. 
[ http://www.w3.org/TR/xforms/slice4.html#evt-formControlInitialize ] 

There are two basic situations which can lead to there being no instance data node for the UI element to bind to. 

1) No <instance> was supplied in which case an instance data node will be created when the UI element is initialised. 
2) There is an <instance> but there is nothing for the UI element to bind to, in this case the UI control should behave as if it was bound to a non-relevant node.

Regards, Roland

Hello,

I have quite a short question. I thought that I read it somewhere in the spec but I couldn't find the passage again.
What happens if I refer from a xform control to an element in my xforms:instance, which doesn't yet exist? Is it (the instance element)created when the user fills in the form control?

Or do I have to define a trigger, whichs creates the needed instance elements before?

wbr,
Roman
