xml.com Article: Getting Started with W3C XForms

Hi,

   O'Reilly's xml.com site has published a hands-on
tutorial for XForms titled "Getting Started with
XForms" by Bob DuCharme.

   Bob uses the University of Helsinki's free,
open-source X-Smiles browser to build a simple order
form using the W3C XForms machinery.
      
   Bob concludes:

   These two XForms applications have only scratched
the surface of what you can do, but they do show you
enough to get started:

   * How to specify the model of the instance you want
to create
   * How to create a form for the user to input data
   * How to control your form's appearance using CSS
   * How to insert the data from that form into the
model
   * How to save the created XML instance to a disk
file
   * How to ship the created instance to a server
process identified by a URL
   * How to have a form add an an arbitrary number of
repeating elements, based on the model, to the created
instance
