Hi
I am trying to author a simple XForms form that allows someone to edit the following:
<address id="c">
<line_1>4 Heronimous Road</line_1>
<line_2>Skegness</line_2>
<line_3/>
<line_4/>
<postcode>SK1 1KS</postcode>
</address>
<person id="1">
<forenames>Harold</forenames>
<surname>Biggs</surname>
<address address_id="c"/>
</person>
There can be more than one <person>, more than one <address> and more than one person/@address_id can point to one address/@id.
First off, I want to build a form that displays a <person>, along with its associated <address>.
This must be a fairly simple job, but I am afraid I have been looking at it for too long to see how to accomplish it.
Might something along the following lines work?
I have tried the index() function, hoping it will give me the current <person> in the <xfm:repeat>. I am not convinced that I am using it correctly though:
<xfm:repeat nodeset="person" id="people">
<!-*person details here*-->
<xfm:group id="address"
ref="../address[@id = ../person[index('people')]/address/address_id]">
<!-*Address here-->
</xsf:group>
</xfm:repeat>
Any ideas, or pointers to relevant examples would be much appreciated.
All the best
