[Xsltforms-support] problems with an generated XForm

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi, all

Firstly can I congratulate AgenceXML for this wonderful piece of work.  We've plumbed it into our application and have instantly been able to remove our dependency on the Mozilla XForms plugin.

While most of our forms work fine, there is one that is causing us trouble: the form controls are automatically hidden when the form is loaded.  We haven't been able to track down why this is the case and wondered if someone could help?  I suspect that it is not connecting to the instance document - the binding statements  but the XPaths all seem to be in order...

The form itself is quite large, but size appears unrelated to the problem: I include a fragment of the form that displays the same behaviour.  I'm sure this is something simple but we can't spot it

Many thanks

Steve
