Hi Hussein, Many, many thanks for your answers and examples - the more one realizes whats possible with xxe the more fun it is to use - ahem, customize.

I have tested this with the XHTML document below: --- <cfg:command name="pick-this"> <cfg:macro> <cfg:sequence> <cfg:get expression="//li"/> <cfg:command name="pick" parameter="Choose false %_"/> <cfg:command name="alert" parameter="%_"/> </cfg:sequence> </cfg:macro> </cfg:command> <binding> <keyPressed code="F5" /> <command name="pick-this" /> </binding> --- (Specify expression such as "//foo" in the expression attribute, not in the context attribute. The default context is the document, which is fine for absolute expressions.) --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> <html> <head> <title>xxxx</title> </head> <body> <p>xxxx</p> <p>yyy</p> <p>xxxx</p> <ul> <li>A</li> <li>B</li> <li>C</li> </ul> <p>The end.</p> </body> </html> --- It works as expected. It displays a list containing just A (and not A, B and C). Explanation: * //li returns a node-set. * a node-set is converted to a string by returning the string value of the node of the node-set which is first in document order. To make this work, you need to use a ``join function'': join(//li, ' '). Unfortunately, there is no standard join function in XPath, so you need to write it yourself in Java. An alternative is to use a process command (cached, with no feedback) as the first item of your macro-command. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/commands/ch05.html This process command will write a text file containing quoted string which will be loaded using a <read> process command item. > Similarily, is it possible to add a css-rule for an element with a > combo-box filled with unique values which are already used for this > element, somehow with xpath/label ??? > > Example: > > <test> > <x>a</x> > <x>d</x> > <x>b</x> > <x>b</x> > </test> > > In element x I would like to have a combo-box with [a b d] as values. Yes, this should be possible because you can use XPath expressions to parameterize the combo-box but, here too, a ``join function'' is needed. --- PS: With XXE, almost everything is possible if you write it in Java. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
