I think it's designed this way...the advantage is that you can assign a complete xml-fragment to a variable.

I wonder if this is a bug or a feature.

If you write the following, myVar wil be a collection of dom nodes:

<jx:set var="myVar">test</jx:set>
${myVar.getClass().getName()} -> [Lorg.w3c.dom.Node

To get the text value you should write:

${myVar[0].nodeValue} -> test

Hi Kamal,
dunno why, nut i always have problems like this in jx. Seems like a 
variable declared with :

<jx:set var="varname">Content</jx:set>

Takes as value a document fragment, and thus should be converted to 
string or something else to be used "normally".

      
Really? I found the opposite to be true, at least when I printed 
the value.

    
I usually declare the variable with :

<jx:set var="varname" value="${whatever.you.need}"/>

And this (again, usually) works in the expected way.

Hope this helps,
Simone

Hi.
I was wondering, if this is a bug and if it is,  has been fixed in 
2.1.8 (I am currently on 2.1.7 and do not have access to 2.1.8):

If I create a variable with value of a field eg.

<jx:set var="active_repeater"><jx:out 
value="${form.getChild('active_repeater').getValue()}"/></jx:set>

then I reference it in an if eg.

<jx:if test="${active_repeater == 'validity'}">
...

I do not enter the code inside of the if but if I change it to this:
<jx:if test="${form.getChild('active_repeater').getValue() == 
'validity'}">

it works fine.

Also, while we are on the topic of jx templates, why are they so 
inconsisten with the way we do things in XSLT and XML based 
        
"languages".
    
Cheers.
