image in select1 item

Hi,

 

Is it possible to display an image for an item in a select1?

 

With chiba 3.0.0.b2 the following  results in a       “ uri resolution failed at [xf:label:XX] /  unknown response type” error:

 

 <xf:select1 ref="ColorCode" appearance="full" >

            <xf:item>

                <xf:label src="../resources/images/red.gif">Red</xf:label>

                <xf:value>red</xf:value>

            </xf:item>

            <xf:item>

                <xf:label>Green</xf:label>

                <xf:value>green</xf:value>

            </xf:item>

       </xf:select1>

 

Is there any other way to implement a selection of items that are displayed with an image?

 

Cheers,

Thilo

Not currently i fear. Though it shouldn't be a general problem -
meaning it can be done.

label/@src is currently only supporting text or xml as response type
and these this is even only a non-normative feature of XForms 1.1.
Chiba does support this feature but a mediatype is not supported.

A first step to do the XForms way would be to nest an output within the label:
<xf:label><xf:output ref="pathToImageInInstance"
mediatype="image/*"/></xf:label>

This at least would be the right syntax in XForms 1.1 to get what you want.

But we don't have the client-side control yet to display those images
in a select1. Depending on what you like to see in your UI (a dropdown
with images or a group of checkboxes with an image next to them) we
would need to adapt our XSLT and eventually Javascript to get there.

Please let us know if that's a mission-critical feature for you. We'll
see what we can do.

Btw, from your address i see that you're in Germany. Please let us
know in case you like  a more direct contact (we're in Berlin). Just
send your question to the user list.

Best,

Joern

Hello Joern,

thanks for the explanation. This feature isn't mission critical for us (yet), however, it could contribute to a better acceptance of the XForms based solution that I'm currently implementing.

Good to see that you are located in Germany. I'll get in touch with you to discuss further possibilities for support.

Cheers, Thilo
