Fw: XForms Actions

Greetings, xforms-activate was replaced by DOMActivate, but 
xforms-value-changed should work as well for the scenario you describe.

actually I'd hook event xforms-activate for this use case ---

    Robert> My thought was to add an event to field1 that traps
    Robert> xforms-value-changed and do a <setvalue> of field2.
    Robert> I also would add a group around field2 controlling
    Robert> when its <input> is active to the user.
    Robert> 
    Robert> All's well in my thoughts.  Unfortunately, I don't
    Robert> seem to be able to use an <action> inside of my
    Robert> <input> for field1.  Has anyone accomplished this
    Robert> sort of data copying using actions inside of inputs?
