XForms Essentials

Name

load

Synopsis

This action traverses a link, possibly in a new window (or browsing context for non-visual devices), possibly replacing the active form. The optional attribute show, which can have a value of either "new" or "replace“, determines the behavior.

The URL that the link goes to can either be specified in the resource attribute, or it can be in the instance data, pointed to by binding attributes (bind, or ref optionally with model).

Warning

Never include both linking attributes and a resource attribute since having both is an invalid combination, that results in the load action having no effect at all.

Two ways to use the load action are like this:

<load resource="http://www.example.com" ev:event="DOMActivate"
show="replace"/>
<load ref="linktable/nextpage" ev:event="DOMFocusOut" show="new"/>
