Hi Charlie, > In XForms 1.0 <switch> was not allowed within <repeat> due to concerns > about the resulting duplication of IDs that would result. In XForms 1.1 > this has been addressed -- see section 4.7 of the working draft at > http://www.w3.org/TR/xforms11/#idref-resolve. Just to clarify, XForms 1.0 didn't say that switch was "not allowed" inside repeat, it said that the behaviour was undefined: A necessary consequence of this is that XForms 1.0 does not specify the behavior of construct switch within element repeat. Future versions of XForms may specify the behavior of switch inside repeat based on implementation experience and user feedback. We provided support for 'switch in repeat' in formsPlayer a long time ago, and it was this clause that allowed us do so with a clear conscience. :) Regards, Mark -- Mark Birbeck, formsPlayer mark.birbeck@x-port.net | +44 (0) 20 7689 9232 http://www.formsPlayer.com | http://internet-apps.blogspot.com standards. innovation.
