AW: retaining previous settings in a select1

Hi,

yes, of course you are right. I hesitated to submit the entire code, because it is quite a lot for a small eMail ;). But you can sure have it. Attached is my code and I would be really proud if you use it for your examples area. But please consider that the code is (unfortunately) still buggy and under development. 

wbr,
Roman

Betreff: retaining previous settings in a select1



I'm confused, I dont see a repeat in your example, did you mean the
itemset?

Incidentally, would you be willing to contribute complete working
examples to the XForms WG for our Examples area?
We'll give you full credit, acknowledge your contribution  --for which
you'll probably be rewarded with even more spam than you already get :-)>>>>> "Roman" == Roman Huditsch <roman.huditsch@hico.com> writes:
