Name
setindex
Synopsis
Every repeat set keeps track of a current item, similar to a database cursor. The official term for this is the index. The index item behaves for multiple form controls much as a focus behaves for single form controls. In fact, setting the focus to a form control in a repeat set also adjusts the index to that spot. This action explicitly changes the index.
Two attributes control the behavior of this element:
repeat, which takes an
IDREF of a repeat set, and
index, which
takes an XPath expression that evaluates to a number, just as the
as attribute on insert and
delete.
setindex is used like this:
<setindex repeat="repeat_id" index="1" ev:event="xforms-ready"/>
