Hello, Alain,
Thanks again for the latest updates! I have another test for you.
Here is my use case: I want to display an ephemeral "Loading" message when
I trigger a submission. To achieve this, I have an instance:
<instance id="state">
<data xmlns="">
<status loading="false" ready="false">...Loading...</status>
</data>
</instance>
When the submission is triggered, I call xf:setvalue to change the @loading
attribute to "true." This causes the loading message to display. When the
submission completes, the @loading attribute is set to "false" again.
For the value change to take effect, I find that I have to call xf:refresh,
or else the binding won't be registered.
In the latest version of beta1.5, if I call xf:refresh from within an
xf:submit element, the following error is thrown. This does not occur in
XSLTForms 1.4.
XSLTForms Exception

TypeError
mainaction.hasAttribute is not a function
However, if I call xf:refresh from within an xforms-submit action, no error
is thrown.
See examples:
*1. xf:setvalue with xf:refresh inside xf:submit (1.5beta)*:

*2. xf:setvalue inside xf:submit, xf:refresh inside xforms-submit action
(1.5beta):*
https://www.tat2.io/basex2/static/xsltforms_setvalue_refresh_test_2020-02-27_1.5beta_v2.xml
*3. xf:setvalue with xf:refresh inside xf:submit (1.4):*
