Hi people,
I'm using CForms in Cocoon 2.1.8 and I've run into a bit of a problem (I sort
of posted about this a while back so a bit of this is a repost). I was trying
to feed some HTML into the form to provide output to the user. To do this I use
a pipe that generates XML output and then I try and serialize that into the
document using the JX template stuff that looks like:
<jx:set var="xhtmlString"
value='${widget.getChild("op-list").getValue()}' />
<jx:out
value="${Packages.org.apache.cocoon.xml.StringXMLizable(xhtmlString)}" />
Unfortunately that doesn't dynamically regenerate when the op-list value has
changed (if anyone knows how to make it do that under AJAX that would be the
best solution by far).
If I go for a straight up output then I just get the <div><p>Moo</p></div> tags
displayed. I looked at serialization on the forms-field-styling.xsl, as XSLT
1.0, and therefore Xalan (AFAIK) doesn't have a serialize function I looked at
creating one that looked something like this:
<!--This is an extension script to add serialization as a function-->
<xalan:component prefix="custom" functions="serialize">
<xalan:script lang="javascript">
function serialize(xmlString)
{
var output = Packages.org.apache.cocoon.xml.StringXMLizable(xmlString);
if(output == null)
{ output = "Oh Dear"; }
return output;
}
</xalan:script>
</xalan:component>
but that just generated NULL values so I gave up on that.
I even wrote a stylesheet to convert the HTML into Text and just use output but
IE seems to ignore the line breaks on the <pre /> tag when you insert it in
dynamically (damn IE).
Any ideas on how to get the AJAX stuff to display this dynamically when the
value changes?
Thanks,
Gary
