RE: relavant or delete

You can do something like this for your instance below.  I haven't proofread
this, so it probably has errors.

      <xforms:instance
id="temp"><temp><OK>true</OK></temp></xforms:instance>
      <xforms:bind nodeset="//*[@xlink:href]" relevant="instance("temp")/OK
or @href" />
      <xforms:submission id="submission-01" method="post"
action="http://..."/>

      ...
      <xforms:trigger>
         <xforms:label>Submit</xforms:label>
         <xforms:action ev:event="xforms-activate">
           <xforms:setvalue
ref="instance('temp')/OK">false</xforms:setvalue>
           <send submission="submission-01"/>
         </xforms:action>
      </xforms:trigger>

You might also want to catch the xforms-submit-done and xforms-submit-error
in the submission element and reset the OK value to true.

Subject: relavant or delete



Hello,

Am I right that the relevant attribute within xforms:bind elements is to
affect both the UI and the instance data? Which means that when the
relevance for a specific instance element calculates to false, bounded UI
elements get inactive and the the instance data is not submitted. 
I would like to make a test before my instance data gets submitted, which
prevents <instanceOf> elements within my instance that contain empty
xlink:href attributes to get submitted. 
I first thought that I could do that with the relevant attribute, but doing
this all UI elements bound to the corresponding instance elements get
invisible, too.
So maybe a delete action triggered by a click on the submit button is the
answer? That leads me to another question. What should be the correct value
for the at attribute in the delete element when I want the delete action to
take effect on my whole instance data? (at="//*")?

my instance looks like :

	<xforms:instance>
		<topicMap id="beispiel"
xmlns="http://www.topicmaps.org/xtm/1.0/"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
		<topic id="">
			<instanceOf>
				<topicRef xlink:href=""/>
			</instanceOf>
			<baseName>
				<baseNameString></baseNameString>
			</baseName>
			<occurrence>
				<instanceOf>
					<topicRef xlink:href=""/>
				</instanceOf>
				<resourceRef xlink:href=""/>
			</occurrence>
			<occurrence>
				<instanceOf>
     					<topicRef xlink:href=""/>
				</instanceOf>
				<resourceData></resourceData>
			</occurrence>
		</topic>
	...
	</xforms:instance>

how would the delete look like, when I want every <instanceOf> element to
not be submitted when the xlink:href attribute of the <topciRef> element is
empty?
I tried so much statements, but I wasn't able to make it work the way I want
it.
Please help me.

wbr,
Roman

Hi Sebastian and others,

I think this does not solve the complete problem. Namely it would not 
allow the generation of arbitrarily deep UI. One solution for XForms 2.0 
(or 3.0 :)) would be to add a template mechanism, similar to 
xslt:template. This might be quite difficult to implement, though, 
because of the dynamic nature of XForms.
