[edit] Invoking the XForms processor

At the moment the XForms processor will only load if the following processing instruction is included in your XForms document:

<html xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms">
  <head>
    <?import namespace="xf" implementation="#default#pxf"?>

</head>

The XForms namespace must be declared thus:

xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms" 

Currently only the prefix "xf" is supported for the XForms namespace.

[edit] Styling Forms

CSS3 pseudo-elements and classes are not yet supported.

XForms model item properties are matched by the following classes:

  • .xf-invalid
  • .xf-valid
  • .xf-readonly
  • .xf-readwrite
  • .xf-disabled
  • .xf-enabled

The presentation of the value of a form control is controlled by the class .xf-value.

As IE cannot use the combination of selectors and classes one has to style the state of a value by e.g.

.xf-invalid .xf-value { background-color: red; }
