Steven: Don't forget!

output@value

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2016Oct/0029.html

Steven: I'm assuming we want to agree with this, but I want to record it
... with both ref and value *anywhere*, the value is used, but in context of the ref.
... OK?

[Yes]

toggle on a switch with caseref

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2016Oct/0031.html

Steven: Do we agree that using toggle has an effect of setting the thing caseref points to?

<ebruchez> "Changes to the selected case can also be performed by the toggle action, but these are performed by performing a setvalue action if the caseref attribute is specified and indicates a node. If the node is readonly, if the caseref attribute does not indicate a node, or if the toggle action does not indicate a case in the switch, then no value change occurs and therefore no change of the selected case occurs."

https://www.w3.org/community/xformsusers/wiki/XForms_2.0#The_switch_Element

https://www.w3.org/community/xformsusers/wiki/XForms_2.0#The_toggle_Element

"If the switch has a caseref attribute which identifies a node, and that node is not readonly, then the node is set to the value of the case identifier as if by a setvalue action."

Erik: Agreed

Steven: So resolved

<label> vs @label

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2016Oct/0034.html

Steven: My proposal in this case is that @label takes precedence; the general rule is that the newer thing takes precedence over the older thing (which may be the same as saying the attribute wins over the elemen).

Erik: I'm fine with that.

Philip: I'm happy

Steven: Also with the general rule

Philip: I'm happy with that.

Steven: So resolved

<alain> mike problem...

<alain> Yes I agreed

Steven: Great

The Property Element

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2016Oct/0035.html

Steven: Can you add properties to any event?

Erik: I don't see why not
... our implementation everything is custom, so it's not a problem

Steven: Alain says it works in the browser, so I will fix the wording.

<scribe> ACTION: Steven to fix wording for property element [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2016/10/26-forms-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-2079 - Fix wording for property element [on Steven Pemberton - due 2016-11-02].

<scribe> ACTION: Steven to change priorities to attribute over element [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2016/10/26-forms-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-2080 - Change priorities to attribute over element [on Steven Pemberton - due 2016-11-02].

load action

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2016Oct/0038.html

"If the Single Item Binding is given in addition to one of the

<code> resource</code> attribute or <code>resource</code> element, then the

action has no effect."

<trackbot> Error finding 'has'. You can review and register nicknames at <https://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/xforms/users>.

Steven: I'm suggesting to change this so that the resource is evaluated in the context of the ref

Erik: Right. Good.

load action link traversal failure

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2016Oct/0039.html

Steven: I don't understand why we say it is implementation dependent

Erik: Maybe because you don't have entire control.

<load ref="../document" target="_blank"/>

Steven: In a case like that we say that the processor keeps running

Erik: Maybe not
... there might not be a method of linking back.

Steven: How about saying it is impl dependent but that we encourage implementations to use xforms-link-error if possible

<alain> You are right. It is not possible

Steven: OK

Still there?

input and secret (and textarea)

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2016Oct/0041.html

Steven: I think we answered this
... input controls are allowed to bind to atomic values, as if they are read-only

upload@incremental

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2016Oct/0042.html

Steven: I think the answeer is "who cares"; all controls have @incremental, and if it doesn't have an effect, then no problem

<alain> Yes

The Select Element

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2016Oct/0050.html

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2016Oct/0056.html

Steven: Why can't a string type also be 'open'?

Erik: I think it should be.

Steven: I agree. I will change the text.

<scribe> ACTION: Steven to allow select on a string to be allowed to be open [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2016/10/26-forms-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-2081 - Allow select on a string to be allowed to be open [on Steven Pemberton - due 2016-11-02].

Steven: The second link is more a discussion issue, rather than a solution for right now

Erik: There are potential solutions. It arises often

Steven: I just wanted to record that it's an issue

item@value

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2016Oct/0022.html

Steven: I had an action item to find where we discussed this or something similar. I couldn't find it. So do we want to support this, or leave it as is?

Erik: It makes sense
... I don't have a problem.

<alain> No problem

Steven: OK.

item values

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2016Oct/0024.html

Steven: Already resolved

ACTION-2076: Propose text for what value is used when the

evaluation of function/result@value fails

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2016Oct/0012.html

Erik: Not done yet.

AOB

Steven: I'm going to the ODF plugfest in Paris to talk about XForms

<alain> Bye
