RE: Populating select1 from a schema

Hi Patricio,

I've read and re-read your message, and the only conclusion I can come to is
that you have slightly misunderstood how namespaces and prefixes work. If I
have misunderstood you, then I apologise, and perhaps you can try to explain
your question again.

Anyway, assuming I do understand you, then you only need one prefix for the
XML Schema in your XForms document, and it does *not* have to match the
prefix used in the instance data (especially because the instance data might
not even use a prefix). That's the whole point of the prefixes--just make
sure that it matches the namespace itself.

Regards,

Mark
