The prior two responses are correct: you haven't missed anything, and we did discuss this issue at the last face to face meeting. In particular, users of XFDL have counted on this behavior since 1996, and we have seen a lot of need for it over the years. Now that XFDL is a host language wrapper for the XML model, we allow the host language to change the attribute when needed as one of the actions hooked to the event that precipitates the submission. Perhaps you could use that strategy as an interim measure?

You haven't missed anything. If you are implementing an XForms processor, please do keep the list informed of the results of your work. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Leftwich [mailto:robert@leftwich.info] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 6:20 PM To: www-forms@w3.org Subject: Dynamic submission action attribute? Is it possible to have the action attribute of the submission element be calculated or dynamic in some way? The scenario is that I would like to use an HTTP Put to submit the instance data and in some cases this will result in the creation of a new resource and in others it will be an update of an existing resource. Either way the action URI needs to be dynamically constructed (i.e. not hard-coded), but reading the spec it looks as though this is not possible, which would appear to limit the usefulness of the Put submit option. Have I missed something? Robert
