We have a very long list of features we would like to add, but for the moment we have to work on the essentials ;-) And remember, we still consider it alpha code.<br /><br />Regarding the Firefox bug, Firefox 2.x on Mac OS X is pretty bad in general IMO. Can't wait for 3.0 final. I remember seeing funny bugs with scrollbars appearing and disappearing. I am not sure we can do much there.<br /><br />You are right, this tool's audience is primarily non-programmers, although it can also be very useful to programmers as well as it handles a lot of the plumbing for you.Erik Brucheznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819462794293857673.post-89500898443687573022008-05-14T12:11:53.000-07:002008-05-14T12:11:53.000-07:00Fantastic stuff!

As a visual tool it is primarily aimed at the end user, but it will also help the starting developer to understand XForms through looking at the created code behind.<br /><br />Currently tiny bug regarding the code edit/view window. On my Mac Leopard with Firefox 2.0.0.14, the scroll bar disappears when the mouse points to it (it is still possible to use the wheel or the keyboard to scroll).<br /><br />I can't test and save the form. I figure this is not supported in this alpha version, or did I miss something...? Similarly, I didn't see how to create nested sections and repeated sections.tealownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819462794293857673.post-50889503609111742052008-05-14T10:59:23.000-07:002008-05-14T10:59:23.000-07:00The Form Builder is indeed great and user friendly...The Form Builder is indeed great and user friendly. I gave it a try few hours ago and haven't found any exception, so far. It will give a boost to XForms acceptance, I believe. <br />What is missing at the first glance: the dataSources from eXist for comboboxes and lists. <br />Thanks Erik and Alessandro.<br /><br />P.S.<br />when we were talking about FormBuilder in XMLPrague2007, I thought that it will be a tool for XForms developers, but it is for end users in fact!pawelkatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819462794293857673.post-22126190211690953912008-05-14T07:17:19.000-07:002008-05-14T07:17:19.000-07:00Hi, simply go to: http://[host:port]/[context]/fr/...Hi, simply go to: http://[host:port]/[context]/fr/orbeon/builder.
