“Traditional” Interaction: XForms
XForms aims at the replacement of traditional HTML forms
firmly rooted in XML technologies
includes datatypes
strict separation between the form’s “intent”…
what types of data are collected
abstract terms for lists, multiple or single choices
… and its presentation
usage of fancy buttons, or simple interaction
80% of javascript usage in today’s forms become unnecessary!
XForms (full) is a W3C Recommendation
XForms Basic Profile is a Candidate Recommendation
implementations are already announced for, e.g., Windows CE
