Topic: xForms ??

Anyone on this board messing around with xForms?

I stumbled upon these last night, searching for a way to post XML to the server from a client side form. Anyone have any tips on doing this? I see that I can do this whith Javascript, by instantiating the XML DOM and so on... I'm looking for a more pure way to post the XML to the server. So far it seems that the textarea element is the only element I can load an XML doc into for posting... in the pure sense, this isn't so bad except that the textarea element is visible to the client... I could hide the element using CSS (not as pure as I'd like).

What I'd really like to do:
Place an XML data island between between <form> and </form> hit submit a viola, I have posted XML.
Errr... but that doesn't work.

Karl: On XForms see:

Although I must admit I've never used them I'd probably still favour processing things server-side - I'm not sure the time for XForms is yet up on us - bit I could be wrong.

Emps: the exmples I've played around with were very cool. Definnitely a huge improvement over standard HTML forms. Microsoft is coming out with infoPath, a similar technology to xForms.
I'm looking forward to something better than what we got... HTML forms are very limited.


To your links found on the gurusnetwork, you might want to add: http://www.formsplayer.com

Karl: Anyone who's registered for the GN forums can add links in there... but as I'm not sure if you actually are I've just done it.

Thanks Kuckus!
