[Xsltforms-support] JQuery & styling advice

[Jason K. <ja...@bi...>]

Hi,

I LOVE this project - I've worked extensively with InfoPath and Forms Server
to create full-featured forms for product demonstrations.  Unfortuately,
InfoPath & Forms Server is so expensive that none of the many mid-large
clients I've worked with will actually budget for it.  XForms is neat and is
one of very few, if not ONLY viable InfoPath alternative, but by itself
still needs a compatible browser/plugin.  XSLTForms seems to be a well
implemented solution.  So accolades to the creators!

I've searched the sourceforge list archive, and I've only seen it asked
once, with no answer.  What is required to get JQuery working with
XSLTForms?  I've figured out some of the CSS issues by following advice to
wrap my external css documents in <css></css> but similar suggestions of
CDATA for javascript is not effective.  I can get XSLTForms OR JQuery
functionality, but not both.  Is this an XML, an XHTML issue, or an
XSLTForms compatibility issue?

I'm really only looking to be able to leverage the JQuery UI calendar
control for now which is styled a little fancier than the basic xsltforms
implementation - but I'm sure there will be other places it would be useful.

Also, I'm having trouble location information on how to appropraitely style
XSLTForms-generated controls.  Is there a guide or some tips?  I don't
necessarily want to go all-out with table-less forms layouts, I just want to
give some inner shadow effects, alignment, and colors.

Thanks,

Jason
