Improved UI Events

Improved UI Events

• Summary of November 6, 2009 group discussion on UI events:
  • http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-forms/2009Nov/0005.html

• F2F Cambridge minutes (topic was initially XPath 2.0 but moved on to relevance, visibility, etc.):
  • http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-forms/2010Mar/att-0038/2010-03-26-2.html
  • http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-forms/2010Mar/att-0039/2010-03-26-3.html

• TPAC minutes
  • http://www.w3.org/2010/11/05-forms-irc#T14-00-56
  • We've tentatively decided we need a new attribute on form controls with a default on each model, with a TBD name and three values (suppress-when-non-relevant="events|all|nothing", all meaning the controls aren't presentable. The XForms 1.1 behavior is suppress-when-non-relevant="events"), which is static, and new events for form controls to indicate their creation and destruction.

• Refresh Events page on Orbeon wiki:

• Please see Constraint-based_Alert, which proposes adding the alert message as a pseudo-MIP attached to data. This could impact the generation and processing of xforms-invalid.
