Hi,

I am upgrading my application from oxf v2.6 to 2.7.2. What I found out is
till oxf 2.6  the xpath mapping of the fields in the forms used to contain
the name of the instance element in it after xforms processing is done and
page is rendered to the browser (can be seen in veiw source of the page).
ex.

<input type="text" name="TXLife[19]/A_FirstName_PINS[34]" value="" title="Enter First Name here" size="25" onkeypress="return
handleEnter(document.forms[0],this, event)"
style="background-color:#FFFFFF">
We used the element name ( i.e. A_FirstName_PINS specified above in the
name attribute) in javascript for implementing client side validation for
required fields.

But in oxf v2.7.2, this has been changed to the following:

<input type="text" name="$node^190" value="" title="Enter First Name here" size="25" onkeypress="return
handleEnter(document.forms[0],this, event)"
style="background-color:#FFFFFF">

Here the name attribute contains a node number instead of node name. As a
result our javascript functions have stopped working.
Javascript code snippet:
for (var i = 0; i < form.elements.length; i++) {
                                        if (form[i].type != 'hidden') {
                                                for(var j=0; j < elems.length-1; j++){
                                                        if (form[i].name.indexOf(elems[j]) !=-1){  
                                                                 var value = form[i].value;  
                                                                if (value==""){
                                                                        focus(form[i].name);
                                                                  return false;
                                                                }
                                                }
                                                }  
                                        }
                                }
Is there any way I can now identify the form fields with instance data in
javascript?

Thanks
Anindita
