x-port's FormsPlayer beta for IE 6 is now based on the XForms 1.0 Candidate Recommendation. The new version can be downloaded from the FormsPlayer site: http://www.FormsPlayer.com/ As well as using tags from the XForms 1.0 CR, there are quite a few new features, many of which are illustrated with updated samples. Some of these will make building internet applications much easier: - Saving and loading to local files is fully working. This allows forms to be completed offline, and then submitted at a later date. There is a sample that shows this, as well as demonstrating one technique for producing a wizard. - Using @appearance="compact" with xf:select1 and xf:select causes the processor to use a tree view control to render the items. This is very useful when choices are nested, since it helps guide the user in their selection. - The data type now influences rendering of the user interface. At the moment this is confined to dates, but more will be added. - A submission method of 'text-xml-post' has been added so that we can submit "text/xml" documents, which is needed for SOAP 1.1 applications. (SOAP 1.2 uses "application/xml+soap".) - COM interfaces have been added to the model element as per section 7.2, so allowing script access to the instance data from IE. A sample illustrates this.
