Re: [Xsltforms-support] Injecting XSLTForms

Hello William,

The subform mechanism is performing something very similar and, for subforms,
the XSLT stylesheet can still be applied client-side.

I also prototyped, some time ago, a way to embed XForms tags within a page being
fully assembled by the server. You can find the corresponding Javascript
instructions at the very end of the xsltforms.js file. The trick is to add a
script element with a type attribute being "text/xforms" (probably not the best
value for that purpose, just a prototype...).

I have fixed some issues to be in a commit to come and it sounds like that :

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Hello World in XForms</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>Type your first name in the input box. <br/>
            If you are running XForms, the output should be displayed in the
output area.</p>
        <script type="text/javascript"
src="/xsltforms/trunk/src/xsltforms.js"></script>
        <script type="text/xforms">
            <xf:model xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms">
                <xf:instance>
                    <data xmlns="">
                        <PersonGivenName/>
                    </data>
                </xf:instance>
            </xf:model>
            <xf:input xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
ref="PersonGivenName" incremental="true">
                <xf:label>Please enter your first name: </xf:label>
            </xf:input>
            <br />
            <xf:output xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
value="concat('Hello ', PersonGivenName, '. We hope you like XForms!')">
                <xf:label>Output: </xf:label>
            </xf:output>
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

As you can see, this is not exactly what you are looking for. You should have in
mind that there are always two parts resulting from the XSLT transformation:
generated Javascript instructions and generated HTML tags. In subform mechanism
and, similarly, in the prototype, the result of the transformation is sliced to
extract those two parts and, then, they are integrated within the current page.

For a server process, it is not well optimized to have to perform this, each and
every time. A solution would be to generate everything with the XSLT
transformation and a parameter for this. It might be a document fragment to be
inserted or, maybe better, a unique script element to be executed for creating
all the form (in this case, the src attribute could even be useful for a dynamic
insertion at client side!).

What do you think?
