    Does XSLTForms support the instance function? I am trying the following but I don't see any output. 

          <xf:instance id="TestInstanceId" xmlns="">
        <SomeNode>
          Some Test Value
        </SomeNode>
      </xf:instance>

    and the following to display it 

    <xf:output ref="instance('TestInstanceId')/SomeNode" />

    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi!

    Yes the instance function is supported.

    I'm not sure what your problem is, but maybe you could try this : 

    <xf:instance id="TestInstanceId">
  <dummy xmlns="">
    <SomeNode> Some Test Value </SomeNode>
  </dummy>
</xf:instance>

    Then you will not mention the "dummy" element in your output, so it remains :

    <xf:output ref="instance('TestInstanceId')/SomeNode" />

    If this still doesn't work, try to add the id of your model (not the id of the instance!) in a "model" attribute of your xf:output.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks. Your suggestion worked though I do not understand why the dummy does not need to be in the xpath.
