Right, you can only have one default namespace! :-)

It's not difficult! Just a little learning curve, that's all. I would
say that for a very simple form where you don't have to do any
validation, and where you don't need "sticky" fields or to preload the
values of any of the fields... then it's probably a toss-up. But once
you add any of these aspects, the advantage goes to Woody/CForms.

For your scenario, if you want to go with just a straight HTML form,
there are a lot of ways you could do it. The most straightforward
would probably be something like this:







(This shows a standard way of extracting request parameters in the
sitemap, using an InputModule � see
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/concepts/modules-ref.html for
more info).

So then � just write your with an name="uri">, and you're off to the races!

But we can improve upon this... so far, we have a single resource,
"getPage", that displays some transformed page depending on the value
of a form parameter. That kind of sucks, doesn't it? What if I want
to bookmark that page, or email the link to somebody... I can't really
do that, can I? The answer is to do something like this:
