RE: How do I make a select1 control visible based on selection of values in another select1 control

Hi Anjali,
 
You didn't say what processor you were using, but since you put my name on
your email, I guess it's formsPlayer!
 
The first thing with formsPlayer is that since there is no default
stylesheet, you will need to add a CSS rule to say that non-relevant
controls (disabled) should not be displayed:
 
  .disabled { display: none; }
 
For more info, see:
 
  <http://www.xforms-wiki.com/bin/view/Main/ProductFormsPlayerStyling>
 
 
Beyond that, there are some things in your code that I don't understand, but
I can't tell if they are just cut-and-paste errors:
 
 * you have '\' in front of '@' in your XPath expressions;
 
 * your test for relevance is the wrong way round (you should be testing for
"XXX_XX", according to your text);
 
 * are you using the instance() function to get to the rates? You will need
to;
 
 * your first XPath expression doesn't need to begin with 'root';
 
 * you have 'emenet2' in a number of places, and I guess it should be
'element2';
 
 * the default type for a node is xs:string, so you don't need to use a
xf:bind to set that.

Subject: How do I make a select1 control visible based on selection of
values in another select1 control


Hi All,
            I have a scenario where there are 2 input xml's, as described
below:
 
1st XML:
        <root>
   -<elements id="1">
         <name>AAA</name> 
         <element1 attr1="aaa">0.02</ element1> 
         <element2 attr2="2">XXX_XX</ element2> 
            <element3>false</ element3> 
       </elements>
   -<elements id="4">
<name>ftaxex444</name> 
<element1 attr1="aaa">0.000</ element1> 
<element2 attr2="1">YYY_YY</ element2> 
<element3>1</ element3> 
      </elements>
</root>
 
2nd XML:
        -<Rates>
<rate id="1" name="STATE" >
<rate id="2" name="LUXURY">
</Rates>
 
Now I have in my UI one select1 control which will display element2's texts
like XXX_XX and YYY_YY from XML1 and below to this control I have another
select1 control which displays the element "rate"-attribute "name" values
like STATE and LUXURY from XML2 but this select1 control need to be visible
only when I choose XXX_XX and if I choose YYY_YY from 1st select1 control,
my 2nd select1 control shouldn't get visible.
 
Now for the same I have implemented it as :
 
In the Model, the bind is written as:
            <xforms:bind nodeset="root/elements/emenet2" type="xsd:string"
/>
            <xform:bind nodeset="Rates/rate" relevant="
root/elements/emenet2="YYY_YY" required="true()"/>
 
And in the Display, I have given the display as:
            <xforms:select1 ref=" root/elements/emenet2/\@attr2"
appearance="minimal">
                        <xforms:itemset model="QQQ" nodeset="Rates/rate ">
                                    <xforms:label ref="\@name"
style="width:100px;" />
                                    <xforms:value ref="\@id" />
                        </xforms:itemset>
            </xforms:select1>
 
But still for any selection to the 1st select1 control, the 2nd select1
control is always visible........ :-(
What else is the condition I need to add to make it invisible and is that
the bind condition and the display condition is right... since I am pretty
new to Xforms, so please anybody can help me out in this scenario.

Anjali
