XForms
Welcome to X-Forms.co.uk, information and tips on XForms!
Introduction to XForms
XForms is an XML format designed to replace HTML / XHTML forms. It is, however, generic enough to be used in a standalone manner or with other languags. XForms are part of XHTML 2.0.
XForms over Forms
XForms are far more powerful than HTML Forms. Not only do they act like normal forms but they can also add constraints to the data, manipulate it, use XML to pre fill data, act similarly to AJAX with form manipulation, perform calculations without having to submit. Basically can do what an HTML form would need other scripting langiages to help with.
XML Support
Although XForms can output data similarly to HTML Forms they can also output directly into XML which has a multitude of advantages, considering the scope of XML deployment.
