Hi Claudius,

The XForms page you sent me is a complex one : schemas, two models 
interfering, ...

First, look at W3C test #2.4.a for schema syntax supported by XSLTForms 
: targetNamespace attribut,...

Because namespace axis is not supported in FireFox, there has to be an 
element or an attribute attached to any user defined namespace. I 
usually add in the document element something like 
myprefix:dummy="dummy" ...

XLTForms XPath expression analyzer doesn't understand expressions such 
as instance('...')[...] : you have to replace them with more 
conventional XPath 1.0 syntax such as instance('...')/myelement[...]

Because of model1 referring to model2, late binding is required in 
XSLTForms : there was a bug concerning this I just fixed (it is not yet 
committed).

But there is, at least, another XSLTForms bug concerning xf:reset within 
an xf:action which might need some hours to be fixed.

Are you in a hurry about that ?

Regards,

-Alain

Hi, Alain,

1. The reason for using two models with javascript functions is to use the eXist capability of sending some data after receiving a HTTP POST request. Of course, it would be easier to send the HTTP POST request to server, reset the model (only one model) and send to server a HTTP GET request for the general data wanted. 

But I wanted to save this new HTTP GET request and do all job with only one request to server.

Of course, this costs me a lot of precessing client-side, namely: receive data after HTTP POST request, transfer it to model2, reset model1, transfer data to model1.

If you think that I act in a too complicated manner, tell me, please.


2. I don't want to rush. I want to gradually transfer my XForms pages to XSLTForms. So, I will be patient and you will receive due observations from me.

Thank you,
Claudius
