Orbeon Forms supports several extension functions, documented here: http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/reference-xforms-2#xpath-extensions Note that Orbeon Forms uses XPath 2.0, and comes with support for all the XPath 2.0 functions. > Also, must such functions be namespaced and prefixed like XSLT > extension functions? Or can they be simple local names like > sin(). cos(), and tan()? We chose to prefix them to avoid polluting the namespace. I think that this is good practice in general. It also makes it clear that you are using functions which may not work with other XForms processors. -Erik -- Orbeon Forms - Web Forms for the Enterprise Done the Right Way http://www.orbeon.com/
