[Xsltforms-support] server-based select loading

[Andre C. <ac...@01...>]

Hi Alain,

This seems like a trivial question, but looking around, I have not found 
an answer yet, so I am turning to you.

Along with a main model, some XSLTForms have to display a selector (e.g. 
xf:select1) where the options are typically provided by a server, 
typically on return from a previous form submission.  What is the best 
practice for managing this?  Should the options be part of the model and 
some script in the form loads them to the selector?  can the pre-loaded 
selector be part of the model? is there a better way of doing this?  In 
this case, although it seems preferable, there is no requirement for the 
selector to be xForm, as it could be html, other than it needs to be 
transmitted and received together with the (main) XSLTForms model.  The 
number and exact nature of the selector options do vary according to 
context, previous selections, and submitted model content.  Also there 
is typically more than one selector involved, along with other guizmos 
like checkboxes etc.

Thank you.

Regards,
Andre
