Ever dreamt of
easily writing your own controls using state of the art frameworks like Yahoo!,
Dojo, Google, Backbase etc, light weight schema processing, template processing,
many other features which I think XForms is truly lacking (BTW it is Xforms 1.0+
compliant). It is very easy to prototype using this
prototype!
Look no further, at
the following location you will see a subset of the implementation
capability
A full blown
template control, template processing done using Dojo and Trimpath and data type validation
(supports all W3C schema types). Partial support for Schematron
processing!
A very easy way to
get tab switch, none of the trickery relating to css bla blah. Uses widgets from
TurboAjax
Straight Dojo off
the shelf widgets used as XForms controls
Present repeat it in a "page view", the demo can
be found at this URL
When
@appearance=page, the control automatically presents the user with a set of
buttons to view the set. If you see all 20 pages then reduce size of browser
window, presentation is automatically adjusted to maximise the user
presentation. Every thing on the page is customisable with CSS (control is
really a Dojo Widget, so style is applied and can be customised by user). Do a
view source to see how presentation is performed, click "View ASIN
features".
At this URL http://showoff2.awardspace.biz/pack/pack/examples/dojoRepeatTable.html is
an example displaying repeat in table mode, well actually it uses the @repeat-
attributes on html table, but something like this is very useful for Joe public
who is more familiar with tables then CSS (that's includes
me!)
Want to try
your hand at using this implementation, send me an email. If you encounter any errors please reload forms demo
running on a slow server!
