If you browse the Web at all, you probably use forms more often than you realize. Nearly all on-line interaction (as opposed to static text delivery) takes place through some kind of form. To enhance the use of forms on the Web, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) sponsored the development of XForms.

The purpose of this tutorial is to show how a simple XForms form can be authored, as well as to introduce some of the basic concepts of XForms.

The purpose of this tutorial is to show how developers can create outlook forms using XForms.

Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) 2.0 supports user interaction with its time-based hyperlinking and event model. However, often more advanced interaction is desired, such as information exchange with a server. Traditionally, Web forms have offered means to send data to a server. XForms is an effort by W3C to create a host language independent Web form standard.

This tutorial demonstrates a generic approach to navigating recordsets in XForms. It will ultimately provide a re-usable XForms model that could be applied to any number of related scenarios, such as stepping through search results, product lists or dates on a calendar.

XForms is more than just a replacement for HTML forms, it can be used to develop forms in Outlook too.

The next generation of web forms

XForms are the next generation of HTML forms. XForms use XML to create forms on the Web. In our XForms tutorial you will learn how to start using XForms in your applications.

An important motivation for introducing namespaces to [Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0] is to combine markup from multiple vocabularies. However, [Namespaces in XML] provides unique names without addressing validation. Later, namespace-aware schema languages such as [RELAX NG] and [W3C XML Schema] have been developed.

This tutorial introduces XForms technology—an evolving standard for the implementation of Forms technology in a Web application. You will look at how XForms are written (the code) and how that code translates into an implementation.

The XForms specification contains many predefined data types

This chapter demonstrates an XForms example

This chapter explains what XForms are and how they differ from HTML forms.
