If all you want to do is pull the value of the 'action' attribute from
instance data rather than hard coding it, you could use the 'resource'
element instead. That can pull the URI from instance data. An example
that uses this approach can be found here:

Re: getting a full refresh at submission

Might also be worth noting that xforms-ready only fires on the initial
page load, and not when a submission has completed. So if you're
expecting this to load the resource upon submission finishing, it
won't work.
Not sure if I'm understanding what you're intending with that bit of
code though.

I must admit I'm somewhat baffled, unless that is there is an issue with multiple xf:instance elements within a single xf:model. Unless you explicitly tell the xf:submission element in question which instance you are submitting and to which instance to return the response to, then you may get the default behaviour which selects the first xf:instance in document order of the first xf:model. In other words, the response may not be going where you think it's going.

Hi,
I have a XForms which generate a xml files using xf:submit. Here I define the name of the file statically.
I want to generate the name of the XML data file dynamically based on the entry fileld (preferably) .

Thanks Phillip.
I've tried setting my replace to different values without effect and
that is why I was reloading the page via php.
Basically the psuedo code is like this:
<? php
...get the submitted data;
... lock xml file; open xml file; update xml data and attributes;

In this case the response to your request would ideally be the server-side updated XML. The xf:submission options should be set to replace="instance" and then the form should reflect those changes.
I'm not aware of you needing to do anything else.
You do not say why you are having the page reloaded. Is there a reason for this?

How can I get a full refresh of my xforms web page at submission?
When I change the instance, it is reflected in the page, as it should
be, however, at submission there are certain attribute updates that
take place on the server side, so I need to be 100 percent sure that I
get a full refresh that will reflect those server-side updates. I

I don't understand how your data is organized. Can you give a small
sample? Looking at your form, it looks like 'tables' contains elements
called 'table' and 'columns'. If that is not true and instead each
'table' contains 'rows' and 'columns', then you don't need the second
repeat to point to '../../columns/column' but rather 'columns/column'.

I would like to create a set of tables where users can table
(spreadsheet) data. The problem I am having is in nesting the repeats
to generate the tables. Does anyone know of an alternative to the
approach I am using or any tips?
I have an XML instance like the following:
<xmldata>
<columns>
<column id="1">

Re: message box

aar...@us.ibm.com (Aaron Reed) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:24:21 UT

We load the message dialog using nsIDOMWindowInternal::OpenDial og and
the XUL from extensions/xforms/resources/co ntent/xforms-message.xul
which has a size already set. So if you just find it consistently too
small, you could change this file in your install package. You might
also be able to change it using JS since Mozilla JS and XUL play well
