Re: [Xsltforms-support] Building up URLs from selected values

[Richard L. <ric...@gm...>]

Thanks, Steven.

Dumb follow-up question: if I have the URL I want to load as a data 
item, what syntax do I use in the src attribute to specify that I want 
to use the /value /of that data item as the URL to load?  Or do I use 
ref?  This is what I have:

Whatever syntax I use for line 58, I get an xforms-link-exception when I 
load the form.  (I'm also trying to prevent the "indexes" instance from 
being used until File is specified. That attribute doesn't seem to be 
making any difference either.)

Thanks,

Richard
