Re: [Xsltforms-support] saving to dynamic file name

[Sandra B. <sb...@lo...>]

Alain,

I'm using the version of XSLTforms that comes with eXist in their 1.4 download. I don't have an external link  because I was trying to put together a desktop form but I'll try to email it to you directly. I've also added Firebug. Thank you for the tips.

Sandy

Sandy,

xf:resource is well supported in SVN build version (bugs have been fixed 
about relative path support): is it the version you're using ?

Activating the debug mode (by <options><debug/></options> in config.xsl 
in latest versions) can help you to see the effective uri for submission.

I usually use a browser debugger (such as FireBug) to locate in 
Javascript instructions where the problem is (in XFSubmission class). Do 
you have an external link to allow me to diagnose it ?

Thanks!

It works if I hard code the file name but if I try to use xf:resource to generate the file name, the form just gets stuck after I submit. I'd appreciate any suggestions. I'm new to this and not really a programmer so apologies if this is obvious.
