If it is not a ajax form or run the form seperatly,I should see the result information,but now I see the form restart. I check the aceess log and add some debug code in js file,the flowscript did't run after form.showForm("datasource_chooser-display-pipeline.jx"); and the seperate form sample will run continue twice when I click "ok" but only once under this condition. I guess the ajax code missing one click to make showForm complete in this situation,so it may be a bug. Well, my colleagues that succeeded in using CForms+Ajax in the portal told me this is much more complicated than that, and I shamely admit that I haven't understood their explanations. So it's not really a bug: the CForms+Ajax coplets must be written in a very special way. I'll try to have a better answer tomorrow, as we're here past the work hours now. Sylvain Hi, I will try to give you an explanation of how it can be done :  1. the pipeline called by the coplet containing the form is something like this : <map:match pattern="myForm">     <map:select type="request-method">             <map:when test="GET">                 <map:call function="MyFlowFunctionThatCreateAndDisplayTheForm">              </map:when>              <map:otherwise>                 <map:call continuation="{request-param:continuation-id}"/>              </map:otherwise>     </map:select </map:select>  2. the pipeline showing the form is somewhat like this :     <map:patch pattern="showMyForm">         <map:generate type="jx" src=""/>         <map:transform type="browser-update"/>                   <map:transform type="i18n" label='i18n'>             <map:parameter name="locale" value="{session-context:authentication/authentication/data/lang}"/>         </map:transform>             <map:transform src="" label='forms-xsl'>             <map:parameter name="contextPath" value="{request:contextPath}"/>             <map:parameter name="lang" value="{session-context:authentication/authentication/data/lang}"/>        </map:transform>      <map:select type="request-parameter">         <map:parameter name="parameter-name" value="cocoon-ajax"/>         <map:when test="true">             <map:serialize type="xml"/>         </map:when>         <map:otherwise>             <map:serialize type='xhtml'/>         </map:otherwise>     </map:select>    </map:match> 3. In the template :     <ft:form-template action=""  enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST" ajax="true"           ajax-action=""/> Note :  - I assume that these pipeline are in the portal sitemap. If not, just modify ajax-action  - We do not use the temporary attribute "application-uri". (the uri of the coplet is always cocoon://portal/myForm in this case) I think that's all.
