XForms & XHTML2.0 - which UA and when?
I was thrilled to see that XHTML2 is coming along quite nicely, so I decided to read the draft. When it came to forms it said that they were implementing XForms. This is something I've never heard of before so I decided to read up on it. Even though it will require some re-learning and more un-learning I think it's a great idea and will try my hardest to get a grip on it. I then ended up with this code:
Code:
<h:html xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms">
<h:head>
<h:title>Search</h:title>
<model>
<submission action="http://example.com/search" method="get" id="s"/>
</model>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:p>
<input ref="q"><label>Find</label></input>
<select ref="flavors" appearance="full">
<label>Flavors:</label>
<item>
<label>Vanilla</label><value>v</value>
</item>
<item>
<label>Strawberry</label><value>s</value>
</item>
<item>
<label>Chocolate</label><value>c</value>
</item>
</select>
<submit submission="s"><label>Go</label></submit>
</h:p>
</h:body>
</h:html>
Which is supposed to be proper HTML and XForms, I saved that on my desktop and opened it up in FireFox. Making a long story short it didn't support it. Try it out yourself if you want. My question is, what browsers support this? Alternatively, when will Mozilla (I suppose FF,using Moz source code, will support it as Moz starts doing it) and Opera start supporting this? I daren't ask when Netscape or IE will, do I?

So It looks like I'll have to wait a while before I can use it on sites. Oh well. I might get one of those so I can learn it at least. Thanks anyways.

Yeah it's probably gonna take a while before it will be mainstream. Like with CSS, it started in 98 or something.

XForms is currently implemented as a plug-in in IE. I don't know how well that works. A reduced version is, I think, implemented in Opera. Mozilla announced less than a month ago that it will implement this in cooperation with IBM and another company.
