Hi Lars, Some questions: How are xforms contained within the OO document structure? Is the OO doc structure XML? For instance, how is the position of an Xforms control defined in OO? What are the options for Xform data binding? Does OO have a method for binding controls to instance data? Does OO have support for an Xpath expression builder What XFOrms tags are supported through an advanced gui (bind, setvalue, submission, action) etc. What events ares supported? I tried opening an Xforms file in OO again, and it just shows the xhtml, not the GUI for forms that I once saw. -----Original Message----- From: Lars Oppermann [mailto:lars.oppermann@sun.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 3:13 AM To: rbraman@bramantax.com; www-forms@w3.org Subject: Re: XForms Editor Review Hi Richard Richard Braman wrote: > I have read about the OO effort but when I open my forms with open > office it doesn't do #!@3 <mailto:#!@3>.

I do :) It is not yet decided, whether in upcomming versions of XForms in OOo will focus more on the authoring and exporting to XHTML+XForms approach, or whether we expand more on the OpenDocument+XForms approach. You seem to be most interested in a solution that gives you XHTML+XForms. Since OOo is not an XHTML authoring tool, making it a XHTML+XForms authoring tool is somewhat unlikely. The goal of XForms in OOo is to introduce rich declarative XML based forms into the world of office productivity applications. Nevertheless, a good XHTML+XForms export can also be a part of that. All the best, /lars
