CForms: Global JavaScript Variables?

["Stewart, Gary" <Ga...@luht.scot.nhs.uk>]

Hi there and sorry to bother with *yet another CForms question*,

I have a CForms form that loads an external XML document in the on-create function of the form (though the data doesn't change and therefore could be loaded in the flowscript instead if this would be easier). I parse it into a DOM tree and everything works ok. However I was wondering if there was a way of sharing this to a few objects in the form? So I could use a particular node in an output, say. Is there a way of making Javascript objects global in the context of a form? 

Also I noticed the Output document mentions using field and states to achieve the same effect. Does anyone know if there any intention on deprecating the output element later (ie should I just switch to using field instead)?

Thanks again,

Gary

Have you try to set your object as a form attribute ( 
form.setAttribute("myDOM",doc); ) ?

You can then get you object by form.getAttribute("myDOM");
