There is a good article on this at xml.com http://www.xml.com/lpt/a/2001/09/05/xforms.html Per the article, upon submit, the instance data is serialized as XML and sent to the server. What I really like about xforms is that it handles it's own error checking. While you can use javascript to do error checking in HTML forms, it is very difficult to create a javascript error checking script that can work with all HTML forms. It is practically impossible to consistently retrieve LABEL form field names because of the format differences between HTML pages/forms. -----Original Message----- From: web400-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:web400-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Brad Stone Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2003 10:47 AM To: Web Enabling the AS400 / iSeries Subject: Re: [WEB400] Xforms Just read about it. The only thing that I am not sure of is if I want my data to be sent in XML as opposed to a query string. That means parsing data can get a little more cumbersome unless easy to use APIs are added.
