consider the template below:

<vbox datasources="bookstore_ext.rdf.php?classname=Book" 
ref="http://localhost/genericStore/Book">
	<label value="test" />
	<template>
	<rule>
        <textbox id="one" uri="rdf:*" 
value="rdf:http://localhost/genericStore/Book#Title" />
        <textbox id="two" uri="rdf:*" 
value="rdf:http://localhost/genericStore/Book#Title"/>
       </rule>
   </template>
</vbox>

Both textboxes show the same data. However, if I edit the value in one, 
it won't propagate to two.  I guess I must tell the datasource by some 
JS process that the value changed and would like to know the right way 
to do it.

Thank you for your help
