[Xsltforms-support] Fwd: select1 selection="open"

[Benoit V. <bvi...@la...>]

Hi Alain,

It would be very useful for our application to have the <xf:select1
selection="open" /> implemented in XSLTForms. I searched on the web
and found that, now, with HTML 5 it's very easy to have a combobox
without coding anything in javascript :

example :

<input type="text" list="browsers" />
<datalist id="browsers" >
    <option> Google </option>
    <option> IE9 </option>
</datalist>

I think it could be possible to implement <xf:select1 selection="open" /> in XSLTForms by merging the existing code of xf:input (for the field)
and the xf:select1 (for the options list). I tried some quick and dirty tests and it seems to work for modern browsers.
I try to generate the HTML with a template like this :

<xsl:template xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" match="xforms:select1[@selection='open']" priority="3">
	<xsl:param name="appearance" select="false()"/>
	<xsl:param name="parentworkid"/>
	<xsl:param name="workid" select="concat(position(),'_',$parentworkid)"/>
	<xsl:call-template name="field">
		<xsl:with-param name="workid" select="$workid"/>
		<xsl:with-param name="appearance" select="$appearance"/>
		<xsl:with-param name="body">
			<input type="text" list="datalist-{$workid}">
				<xsl:call-template name="comun"/>
			</input>
			<datalist id="datalist-{$workid}">
				<xsl:apply-templates select="node()" mode="item">
					<xsl:with-param name="parentworkid" select="$workid"/>
				</xsl:apply-templates>
			</datalist>
        		</xsl:with-param>
	</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>


but I have not enough skills to modify the javascript generation code. I'm stuck !

Do you think that it would be possible to have this feature in XSLTForms (at least for HTML 5 browser)?

Thank you for your help.
