XForms Status Update

Status Update

The tree has branched for Gecko 1.8 (that is, the code that Firefox 1.5 will build upon). For now we just continue working on trunk. We will continually make sure that the extension actually works on the branch also, so we are ready for FF1.5.

We’re also getting closer to a second preview/beta/whatever of the extension. We have primarily been waiting for those pesky pseudoclasses, but they might not make it anyway :(

Checked in

• select was not able to select last item in its list (bug 304928)

• Fix crashing on poorly formed XForms with external instance data (bug 304373)

• Handle references to id attributes inside repeats. This makes switch, setfocus, etc. work inside repeats. (bug 302513)

• Remove non-conforming xforms-binding-exception from setindex (bug 293436)

• Port select to XBL (bug 300801)

• Add instance attribute to submission element, so a submission result can be directed to another instance (bug 302496).

• Show a dialog box on xforms-binding-exception as it is a fatal error, and the form should not be expected to work correctly (bug 290465)

Me

I’ll be hiding in the US the next two weeks. I’ll visit the team at IBM Austin, hide in New Orleans for some time :-), and then attend the W3C meeting in Raleigh afterwards. So I’ll probably be on/off until I return to Denmark (September 14th).
