| | XForms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | XForms can also be used today through various server-side technologies which convert a subset of XForms to legacy HTML forms on the fly and transparently to users. | | | XForms was designed to be the next generation of HTML / XHTML forms, but is generic enough that it can also be used in a standalone manner to describe any user interface, and even perform simple and common data manipulation tasks. | | | XForms, much like XHTML 2.0 which is currently under development as of January 2006 and within which XForms will be embedded, differs from previous versions of XHTML. |

| | XML.com: What Are XForms |
| | XForms processing is similar, but combines input and output into the same tree: | | | Since XForms and XSLT are related through XPath, it is interesting to compare the two technologies. | | | A new technology, XForms, is under development within the W3C and aims to combine XML and forms. |

| | XForms, in contrast, is designed in a way that separates data definition from user interface definition, and thus lends itself well to more flexible implementation strategies. | | | As part of the Novell exteNd suite (formerly SilverStream software), XForms is playing a major role in their software to interact with web services, relational databases, and other data sources. | | | The other IBM engine is a Java XForms compiler, which takes an XForms document as input and produces a mass of JavaScript and HTML that works with Internet Explorer 5.5+, Netscape 7+, and Mozilla 1.0+. |

| | Get ready for XForms |
| | You can bind values to instance data in XForms using two ways: Data can be made dependent on other data, or it can be bound to input provided by the user. | | | XForms widgets are abstract in nature, so different platforms can choose to implement them in different ways. | | | As noted, the XForms specification was motivated by the need for an extensible means to include richer, more dynamic forms in HTML documents, while at the same time making Web forms easier and faster to create. |

| | Industry Standard: Free Your Code with XForms |
| | XForms was designed to give developers a truly device-independent framework to define form interface and interaction model. | | | XForms separates data from logic and presentation, allowing data to be any arbitrary XML document. | | | For example, if a device is using the old WAP and lacks key features that are possible in XForms, Oracle9iAS will use a series of transformational algorithms and stage the entire application virtually in the middle tier. |

| | With XForms, it is possible to restrict the parts of the document that a user is able to modify, which means that submitted data needs only a relatively light double-check before it can be sent to a database. | | | XForms goes to great lengths to make the fill-out experience intuitive; reading instructions is not required. | | | In XForms, form data is provided from an initial XML file, which can be external to the form definition. |

| | Orbeon PresentationServer (OPS) User Guide - XForms Reference |
| | XForms clearly defines how data entered by the end-user is collected: it is stored in an XML document called an XForms instance, an initially empty, "skeletal" XML instance document that defines the structure of the data you wish to collect from the user, which is afterwards filled out with information collected from the user. | | | With XForms, a set of predefined event handlers and actions are available, which cover a set of useful cases without requiring understanding the complex syntax and semantic of JavaScript or Java. | | | This way you can automatically compute some values in the XForms instance based on other values, typically entered by the end-user. |

| | Although I still think XForms is rather complex and could have used some actual browser developers to help with the creation of it, you can do nice things with it without the requirement of scripting. | | | To enable XForms you have to download a recent nightly, for example Mozilla 1.8 Beta 1, and afterwards download the extension. | | | Instead, I used some examples I found at Bugzilla and the Mozilla XForms project site. |

| | What XForms does (and what it doesn't do) |
| | XForms is a technology in my opinion, does not have a place in commercial software development. | | | The bulk of the XForms implementation is implemented with higher-productivity server-side programming languages such as Java and a wealth of existing libraries, instead of native C/C++ or Javascript. | | | I guess when John Boyer writes that XForms should rather be called the XML data processing language, he means, in particular, the lack of support for form [re]submitting, that revolves around the HTTP spec as well. |

| | And XForms can call upon its cousins XSL and XPath for input format and type validation (for example, making sure that a quantity input field contains a positive integer), as well as for calculations and special formatting. | | | In the meantime, XForms offerings from DENG, Orbeon, and PureEdge give us all a glimpse of where this progressive and versatile technology is headed. | | | DENG is different from the others, however; it’s a modular XML brow-ser and a free add-on that works with most popular browsers and implements (among other things) an XForms engine. |

| | What's more, because XForms is 100% XML based, you can use XSLT to generate an XForms document from one or more source XML files, perhaps with some schema filtering thrown in to determine which components best match the elements described by the schema. | | | The Scalable Vector Graphics working group of the W3C is exploring ways to incorporate XForms into SVG 1.2, providing at least basic support for several critical components, which you can then override with custom graphics. | | | Kurt Cagle is a software developer and author specializing in XML technologies. |

| | It is important to raise the level of abstraction at which such forms are authored in order to ensure that Web interaction remains usable and accessible across a variety of end-user devices. | | | Just as HTML enabled the creation of global hypertext documents in the early 1990's by providing a simple notation that moved authors beyond having to explicitly program hypertext systems, XForms is poised to enable Web authors to create end-user experiences that are today limited to the more sophisticated Web Programmer. | | | No other programming language brings together XML loading and saving, schema validation, multimodal support, a web deployment model, and extensible function libraries, to name but some of XForms' capabilities. |
