Re: XForms

Well,

a first read of the XForm spec shows that it is indeed a very powerful
thing, though i see a huge amount of overlap in many things that are done
elsewhere ( in xslt for instance ).

i have incorporated Xforms as a form definition format and generate simple
html forms from this, Mozquito does this mucho better and i would recc
taking a look at their implementation.

in general xslt can 'autogenerate' and XForm which is then interpreted by a
browser ( X-smile, etc.. ) or then transformed into a final presentation
format ( html+css+javascript )

a) u could use xslt to autogenerate XForms, think of an xml format for
address book.
b) u could use xslt to generate the final presentation format, but of course
u would be generating essentially an XForms processor in xslt

xslt is neat in that it stands central to a lot of the xml technologies and
this is an apt example.

at the moment i dont know of anything i.e. libraries or such that ease any
integration aspects.

cheers, jim
