Re: Repeat and Submission

Hi Swithun,

Thank you for your reply.

I have changed my instance according to what you have suggested:

<xf:instance id="values"><forms xmlns=""/></xf:instance>

<xf:submission id="getValue" instance="values" ref="instance('form')"
action="admin.cgi?action=getPermissionAccess" method="post"
replace="instance" />

And in my body...
<xf:repeat>
<td><label>Allowed Access By</label></td>
        <td>
        <xf:select1 ref="type">
            <xf:label/>
                <xf:item>
                    <xf:label>Department</xf:label>
                    <xf:value>1</xf:value>
                </xf:item>
                <xf:item>
                    <xf:label>Team</xf:label>
                    <xf:value>2</xf:value>
                </xf:item>
                <xf:item>
                    <xf:label>Position</xf:label>
                    <xf:value>3</xf:value>
                </xf:item>
             <xf:send ev:event="xforms-value-changed" submission="getValue">
             </xf:send>
            </xf:select1>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
       <td><label>Value</label></td>
       <td>
            <xf:select1 ref="value">
            <xf:label />
            <xf:itemset nodeset="instance('values')/value">
            <xf:label ref="@name" />
            <xf:value ref="@id" />
            </xf:itemset>
            </xf:select1>
       </td>
    </tr>
</xf:repeat>
It's working perfectly for single attribute. But when I put the the select1
inside repeat statement, it acts quite funny. The second pull down list no
longer works.
I think i should pass the index somewhere but still not quite sure.

I'll go digging some more info about the Mark Birbeck's post.

Thanks heaps for your help!

Christian
