Alain, That's clearer, thanks for these explanations!
I have a first bug report for these new features ;) ... If you replace the repeats by groups that's no longer working: <?xml-stylesheet href="xsltforms/xsltforms.xsl" type="text/xsl"?> <xh:html xmlns:xh="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"; xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events";> <xh:head> <xh:title>Figures</xh:title> <xf:model> <xf:instance id="main"> <figures> <rectangle height="10in" width="4em"/> <circle radius="8%"/> </figures> </xf:instance> </xf:model> </xh:head> <xh:body> <xf:group ref="rectangle"> <xf:output value="name()"/> <ul> <xf:group ref="@height"> <li> <xf:component ref="." resource="size.xml"/> <xf:output value="concat(' = ',.)"/> </li> </xf:group> <xf:group ref="@width"> <li> <xf:component ref="." resource="size.xml"/> <xf:output value="concat(' = ',.)"/> </li> </xf:group> </ul> </xf:group> </xh:body> </xh:html> The values which are displayed by the component in its input fields are now the initial values that are in the subform!
