Re: [Xsltforms-support] Using an xsf:dialog inside of an xf:repeat

[Klotz, L. <Lei...@xe...>]

Alain,
If you allow XForms controls in UI inline content in your XForms integration (which XSLTForms does), then XForms controls are allowed in xf:message.  However, as John Boyer has pointed out, there are issues with bubbling of DOMActivate targeted at controls inside the xf:message.

XForms 1.2 is scheduled to have xf:dialog defined. The repeat ID issues you are dealing with are also handled similarly, I believe, but you might want to check.

We briefly considered using a component language to allow separate definition and instantiation of XForms dialogs, but decided against it.

David,

I have finally found a trick for xsf:dialog support inside of an xf:repeat so the test case you sent is now working for me with the latest SVN version.

BTW, I have also added nested xsf:dialog support, with a workaround for
IE6 bug about select and z-index.

xsf:dialog is now richer than AJAXForms ajx:dialog (there is also, in AJAXForms, ajx:confirm which allows Javascript confirm() use for aborting an action processing but it's not supported in XSLTForms).

When comparing xsf:dialog and xf:message, it appears to me that xf:message can just contain constant text strings and text output controls whereas controls of any kind can be in xsf:dialog. So xsf:dialog is a sort of extension of xf:message but with a different syntax. I now think it would be interesting to allow any kind of controls in xf:message without defining any new element with its own syntax. The first step for XSLTForms should be to render xf:message as a specific xsf:dialog (not anymore with Javascript alert()...).

Suggestions and points of view are welcome in this mailing list.

Happy New Year!

-Alain
