You should check out the Woody samples ("Various" and "Flowscript" pages) in the latest CVS : it includes tabbed forms, switching panels with a popup to select the panel, etc. It's based on some high-level grouping tags that automatically produce the needed HTML, CSS and JavaScript stuff.
I must confess; I haven't played with Woody too much, but my "Internet Application Development" class which I am taking definitely makes me miss being able to Just Use Cocoon :) I feel so dirty mixing HTML and PHP <? ?> code :(
What does the HTML that Woody produces looks like? Will it validate? To what extent?
I also added yesterday server-side event handling features, and the ability for a widget to trigger form submit. Checkout the carselector sample (updated a few minutes ago) that demonstrates this, and also the number panel in the "Various" page.
It certainly doesn't provide the same user experience as Joerg's impressive XUL application but, well... works on any browser ;-)
Of course, we could also have stylesheets producing XUL for Woody forms. Any taker ?
This would be a pretty neat demonstration of the flexibility of Woody, and Cocoon in general. The only problem I noticed when researching XUL is that all of the form validation is pretty much client-side since it's mainly for being run under Mozilla. There is very little functionality in the way of "submitting" a form to a remote server, but I did find that there is a Javascript function you can call which posts XML to a remote server, so this might just be all we would need to hook it into Cocoon.
Another thing that needs to be looked into are Woody Forms -> PDF Forms. The newer versions of Acrobat allow the form data to be submitted to a remote server as XML. I think it's called XDF? Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, too much cool stuff, too little time :)

Tony
