In the next day or two, the new 1.1 working draft will appear. In it, you'll see that we've scrapped duplicate and destroy in favor of simple modifications of insert and delete that cover the functionality of duplicate and destroy. The main problems for insert were how to identify a nodeset that could become empty and how to get a prototypical subtree from someplace else. By simply adding the new attributes to insert rather than inventing a new action, we found we could achieve the desired results. We also found that insert's separation of the target location into nodeset, at and position made it easier than was the case with duplicate to express the most common use case of inserting a new homogeneous collection item into a repeat after the currently indexed repeat item. Also, an insert with a target of the root document element of the instance results in replacing the instance. Details and examples to be published shortly. John M.

Seems like in FormsPlayer (which is more progressive :) even a simple "setvalue" action will effect like "duplicate" (or not?), but now I'm gonna make it work on FireFox too and just can't figure out how to: 1. Construct SOAP-message instance from parts of another ones, since in XForms1.0 "setvalue" takes just string value of node to set. 2. Reset instance with initial structure from SOAP-template instance for kind of XForms_WebService_GUI form? -- Alexander Anokhin AVTOVAZ JSC email: ava@vaz.ru icq: 123275798
