Can anyone tell me why my CSS style sheet isn't styling my xhtml (using xforms)? I'm using firefox 1.5.0.8 with the xforms extension.
Here is the xhtml, it's only a single text area for input. - <?xml version="1.0" ?>
-
-
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
-
xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms">
-
<head>
-
<link href="zstyle.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
-
<title>XForms textarea for essay</title>
-
-
<xf:model>
-
<xf:instance xmlns="">
-
<essay>Type your essay here.</essay>
-
</xf:instance>
-
</xf:model>
-
</head>
-
-
<body>Type here. <br />
-
<xf:textarea ref="/essay">
-
<xf:label></xf:label>
-
</xf:textarea>
-
-
</body>
-
</html>
And here's the style sheet. - @namespace html url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtm);
-
@namespace xf url(http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms);
-
-
body
-
{ margin-left: 2em; margin-right: 2em;
-
border-width: 2em; border-color: blue;
-
background-color: gray; color: white;
-
}
-
-
textarea
-
{ font-family: sans-serif;
-
height: 500px; width: 90%;
-
}
as it is, the textarea formats to the appropriate size, but if I try to do xf|textarea, I lose the style and get the small default size.
also, the borders don't work no matter what I do. All else seems ok.

I don't know much about xforms but to solve your border problem use this <element style="border: 1px solid green"
<link href="zstyle.cs s" rel="stylesheet " type="text/css" />
My XML is rusty; especially with regards to using it with xhtml.

Yeah, me too. I wasn't sure whether to post here or in XML but I noticed that there are not too many responses in xml forum.
But since Xforms will soon be the future standard for Xhtml, I thought this would be a good place to post.
I need to learn Xforms because I don't want to redo my whole web application a couple years down the road, but I'm finding it's a bit tricky. There are no really good books or tutorials, they are either too basic or too extreme, and none of them help you understand how to integrate CSS or XSLT with Xhtml and Xforms.
My web app will be an open source distance education app so I hope it'll be around a while. Ok, now I'm just venting :) , must get back to work. Thanks for taking the time to respond you guys :)

We love answering questions please ask more. What are you writing this app in? PHP?
What are you writing this app in? PHP?
Yes, I am. You must be a mind reader :).
I want to use Xhtml, xforms, xml, and PHP (without MySQL). All data will be stored in xml files.
My problem is that I've done some basic programming and relational database building in the long past, and I am just now getting my feet wet in xml, xforms, and PHP. So I should have lots of questions and will probably be heading to the PHP forum soon. :)

Ronverdonk hangs out in the PHP forum he's a guru. I've been reading up on this, check it out if your wanting to do a DB PHP page with Javascript.
HTH,

FYI anyone who's interested, styling in xforms/css, I found this to work for my borders (this is the entire css file): - @namespace html url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtm);
-
@namespace xf url(http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms);
-
-
body
-
{margin-left: 2em; margin-right: 2em;
-
border-left:solid 10px blue;
-
background-color: gray; color: white; }
-
-
textarea
-
{ font-family: sans-serif; height: 500px; width: 90%; }

Does anyone know if it's possible to do the following:
I currently have an XML schema set up, part of which includes an
enumerated datatype (based on string) giving a list of values that I
want for a particular element.
Is there any way to bind this to a 'select' or 'select1' element in
XForms without having to list out all the choices again on the XForm:
in other words it needs to grab the values straight from the schema.
Any help...

Hi.
I’m new to XForms society and struggling with a basic concepts. However, I’m trying to transform an xml doc into XForms using XSLT. The browser renders the Xforms just fine but there is no effect to bind element. For instance the third UI control should be rendered as a calendar because its type is xs:date
However, I got a normal input box instead. Also property required= “true()” has no effect.
Any help is much appreciated.

As you can see in binding part, the node<age /> should be returned as a calendar or any form of date picker instead of an input box. In addition, none null values submission is not achieving. I defined this problem as a binding issue but I find no clue to solve it. Moreover, this example is tested on X-Smiles and firefox with plug-in as well.
Your help is much appreciated

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
