Ensures that the text before each delimiter is displayed in a righttoleft direction. This function is needed when the order of your text does not match the order specified by the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm (UBA).

Ensures that symmetric characters, such as parentheses or greater than and less than signs, are swapped when displayed in the RighttoLeft orientation. In other words, this function “mirrors” symmetric characters, replacing the left character with the right character, and vice versa.

Ensures that the text before each delimiter is displayed in a lefttoright direction. This function is needed when the order of your text does not match the order specified by the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm (UBA).

Allows you to insert Unicode control characters inside text strings. While this function allows you to insert any Unicode control character, it is most frequently used to insert control characters that ensure that bidirectional text is displayed correctly. This is needed when the required order of ...

Transforms numerals between Arabic (European) numerals and national numerals and determines whether they are displayed lefttoright or righttoleft.

Transforms text between logical and visual ordering. Visual ordering stores the user data in the order in which it was typed. Logical ordering stores the data in the order in which it is displayed on the screen. Use this function to transform data that is stored in a different order than it is ...

XFDL supports the use of XForms functions. These functions can be included in XPath expressions, and are only available when dealing with XFormsrelated processes.

Returns the nodeset that is currently providing the context for the XPath expression. This is useful when you need to reset the context in the middle of an XPath expression.

Pipes execute sequentially and often require data from previous pipes to perform their tasks. Therefore, you need to be able to pass information in and out of pipes. This is done by defining the type of information you want to pass in or out and where the information is coming from or going ...

In this example, an XPath expression is used to automatically duplicate the shipping address as the billing address. This example requires the use of the AdvancedIBM® Forms Designer perspective.

Binding connects presentation items to data elements. The bind defines what information the data element displays. In this example, entry fields on two pages are bound together so data is displayed on the second page of the form when the user enters it on the first.

This article was created to provide a Viewer and Webform Server solution to preventing a row from being deleted until the user has been prompted with a yesno question and an answer given.

Row by row validation with a single XForms bind This sample demonstrates how XPath can be used in an XForms constraint bind to mark a single field in a row as invalid. This can be accomplished with a single bind and a separate data element can be used to control which row is evaluated for the ...

This best practice demonstrates using XForms binding techniques for copying values from one set of elements to another.

This best practice demonstrates the best way to create a set of mutually exclusive checkboxes in an XForms table. This practice can also be used outside of an XForms table.

Lotus Forms has implemented XPath as a component of XForms. There are several functions that are available through XPath, however Lotus Forms has not implemented all of the functions defined in the XPath 2.0 specification defined by the W3C. There are many places where XPath is used. In the ...
