Re: [Xsltforms-support] select1, itemset, value (what is this form doing wrong?)

[Alain C. <ala...@ag...>]

The path for itemset has to be written relative to the one of the select: in your test case, just add "../../" at the beginning if you want to keep it relative.

Objet : [Xsltforms-support] select1, itemset,value (what is this form doing wrong?)

Trying to implement a new functionality I thought would be simple,
I am running into unexpected difficulties with the xf:select widget.

I have put a sample form at

http://www.blackmesatech.com/2017/07/testcase/index.xml

Several problems are arising:

- First and foremost, the menu displayed by the following widget
appears to be empty of text, although xf:output statements inserted
for diagnostic purposes appear to show that the XPath expressions
used are correct.

    <xf:select ref="p[@id='select']/@items">
      <xf:itemset nodeset="list/item">
	<xf:label ref="."/>
	<xf:value ref="@id"/>
      </xf:itemset>
    </xf:select>

- Second, when I try to use xf:output in the xf:label element, 
I get an error; ditto when I try to use a constant but remove the @ref
binding attribute.  Are both the value and the label of an itemset
required to use @ref?

Anyone who can shed any light on this would receive a large shipment
of gratitude (and a beer if we’re ever in the same bar).

best,

Michael Sperberg-McQueen
