Re: Get the values of an element and combine them

Here is an example of how I would do it:

	http://www.cwi.nl/~steven/forms/dcterms.xml

I'm not sure of all the requirements of your problem, but what I do is:

	1. At initialisation, extract the values of east and north from your  
input spatial value:

	    <action ev:event="xforms-ready">
		<setvalue ref="east"  
value="substring-before(substring-after(instance('in')/spatial, 'east='),  
';')"/>
		<setvalue ref="north"  
value="substring-before(substring-after(instance('in')/spatial, 'north='),  
';')"/>
	    </action>

	2. Bind a calculation to the output spatial value:

	    <bind ref="spatial" calculate="concat('east=', ../east, '; north=',  
../north, ';')"/>

I hope this helps.
