[Xsltforms-support] Can you use dispatch to invoke a trigger?

[Mark L. <tin...@gm...>]

Hi all,

Can you ‘call’ a trigger by using <xf:dispatch/> ? Say I have a <xf:repeat/> list of items with Next and Prev buttons at the bottom. It’s a pretty long list so I want to duplicate the buttons at the top as well but I don’t really want to duplicate the event code in these, I just want to get them to activate their respective originals. 

I’ve tried this sort of code below but no luck so far.

<xf:trigger id=“next_parent">
	<xf:label>Next Page</xf:label>
 	<xf:action ev:event=“DOMActivate”>
		<!— lots of stuff here —>
	</xf:action>
</xf:trigger>


<!— this button just ‘calls’ it’s parent
<xf:trigger id=“next_dummy">
	<xf:label>Next Page</xf:label>
 	<xf:action ev:event=“DOMActivate”>
		<xf:dispatch id=“next_parent” ev:event=“DOMActivate”/>
	</xf:action>
</xf:trigger>

Rgds,
