CForms:fb:insert-node???

[oceatoon <t....@systheo.com>]

Hi everyone 

I'm trying to generate a new node on every pass through my Reservation Form
(Fiels id, name, date). so in my binding I added
************************************************
 <fb:insert-node>
        <reservation id="new" from="" to="" by="" for="" board=""/>           
    </fb:insert-node> 
 <fb:value id="for" path="reservation[@id='new']/@for"/>
    
    <fb:value id="resafrom" path="reservation[@id='new']/@from">
        <fd:convertor datatype="date" type="formatting">
            <fd:patterns>
                <fd:pattern>yyyyMMdd</fd:pattern>
            </fd:patterns>
        </fd:convertor>
    </fb:value>
 
   <fb:value id="by" path="reservation[@id='new']/@by"/>

************************************************************

The only way i managed to insert all the data into my new reservation Node
is to have the id="new" and then direct the paths to this id value.

But I'm sure this can be done directly??? on the fly with the insert node

Thx for your thoughts
Tibor

Thanks Marc for the confirmation,

In this case I found a very ugly but in the end "get what I want" solution.

in my model I always keep an empty "reservation" node with an attribute I
use to integrate the new data, once the old empty node is overriden,I then
insert again a new empty reservation node for the next time around meaning
I always have this empty reservation node.

Just one important thing is to put the insert-node at the end of the bind
since its execution on binding is sequential, I want my empty tag to be
inserted last.

Ugly :( but it works :) 
****************************************************
here's the example bind:
my constant empty tag is recognised by its from value at new, from will be a
date so there"s no ambiguity
//I fill all the tags in the empty reservation
  <fb:value id="resato" path="reservation[@from='new']/@to"/>
    <fb:value id="for" path="reservation[@from='new']/@for"/>
    <fb:value id="by" path="reservation[@from='new']/@by"/>
//finish by filling the from attribute
    <fb:value id="resafrom" path="reservation[@from='new']/@from"/>
//then I insert a new empty node
    <fb:insert-node>
        <reservation from="new" to="" by="" for="" board="">
            <meal date="" breakfast="" lunch="" diner=""/>
        </reservation>
    </fb:insert-node>
******************************************************

nope, I'm afraid this pretty much is the way how one would need to do it 
to date, and I'ld have to admit it's not all that elegant,

just a use case that wasn't considered

(you just started me thinking on a more elegant way for this, 
suggestions are welcomed)
