XForms Selection Controls

prev next

The user interface of XForms uses XForms controls.


The Select1 Control

The select1 control is used for selecting one item from a list of items:

<select1 ref="status">
  <label>Status:</label>
  <item>
    <label>Male</label>
    <value>M</value>
  </item>
  <item>
    <label>Female</label>
    <value>F</value>
  </item>
</select1>

In the example above, the user can choose one of to values, Male or Female. The data stored in the XForms instance (XML document) will be M or F.
