Is the behavior of XmlMind's putAttribute function sensible for attributes
of type ID? If no value is specified, then a select box dialog is displayed
that allows you to select from a list of existing ID values. This is
obviously the correct behavior for IDREF attributes, but surely the point
when inserting an ID attribute is to insert a unique value that has not yet
been used?
I am currently using version 3.0 of XmlMind.
Do you have a workaround that lets me display a standard "prompt" dialog for
a newly inserted element only if it has an attribute called "id"? I tried
this, but it doesn't seem to work, for reasons I don't understand:
<cfg:command name="my.insert">
<cfg:macro trace="true">
<cfg:sequence>
<cfg:command name="insert" parameter="%0" />
<cfg:choice>
<cfg:sequence>
<cfg:match context="$selectedElement" pattern="@id"/>
<cfg:command name="prompt" parameter="'Insert Element' 'Enter
element ID:'" />
<cfg:command name="putAttribute" parameter="[implicitElement] id
'%_'" />
</cfg:sequence>
</cfg:choice>
</cfg:sequence>
</cfg:macro>
</cfg:command>
