RE: [WEB400] Xforms

["Eric Kempter" <EKempter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a good article on this at xml.com 
http://www.xml.com/lpt/a/2001/09/05/xforms.html
Per the article, upon submit, the instance data is serialized as XML and sent 
to the server.

What I really like about xforms is that it handles it's own error checking.  
While you can use javascript to do error checking in HTML forms, it is very 
difficult to create a javascript error checking script that can work with all 
HTML forms.  It is practically impossible to consistently retrieve LABEL form 
field names because of the format differences between HTML pages/forms.

Just read about it.  The only thing that I am not sure of is if I want my data 
to be sent in XML as opposed to a query string.  That means parsing data can 
get a little more cumbersome unless easy to use APIs are added.
