World Wide Web Consortium Publishes XForms 1.0 AS A W3C Recommendation
W3C's Next-Generation Forms Technology Ready To Use

-------------------------------------------------- ------------
http://www.w3.org - October 14, 2003, the World Wide Web Alliance (W3C) announced the issue of XForms 1.0 standard. XForms 1.0 is the next-generation web-based form-based cornerstone, the ability to separate purposes, performance, and results, combined with scalable markings.
W3C Recommendation is equivalent to the Web standard, which marks the W3C development specification is stable, promotes Web interoperability, and has passed all members of W3C, and the industry adopts it.
10 years later, it is the time updated on the web -------------------------------
The HTML form is introduced into the Web in 1993, which provides a means of aggregating information and handling transactions. The structure of the form adapted to most users at the time and also applied to the device that accessed the web at the time.
Today, today, the design of the original HTML form exhibits its limitations. The user now wants to access the Web through cellular phones, handheld devices, and Assistive Technology (Assistive Technologies), and the creator requires more functional characteristics based on their experience in HTML forms and non-Web-based forms. Form Creators expect to reduce scripts to minimize, and maximize multiplexed form parts, while also clearly separating the purpose, performance, and results of forms. At the same time, companies that have been migrated to XML are of course expected to make the form to handle the form of business.
"W3C XForms gives creators to improve the greater capabilities and flexibility in improving the user experience," said the chairman of the W3C XForms Working Group, "XForms Working Group provides a model to make the implementator more easily developed and multiplexed forms Parts, combine them into web services, as well as brought users and devices that are not possible prior to functionality.
XForms clear separation and use, performance and results -------------------------------
Mature tags and performance tags in the HTML form are entangled to form a control, XForms to make form creators to distinguish the description of the form use, the performance of the form, and how to write results in XML (instance data).
Dividing the traditional HTML form is divided into three parts -XForms model (model data (instance data), the instance data, and the XForms user interface, XForms clear makes performance from the content separation. This separation brings new advantages:
* Reuse: The XForms module can be multiplexed, and the information collected from it is independent. * Device independence: User interface control is abstract - only indicates their universal characteristics so they can be successfully implemented in different devices with different performance. * Accessibility: Separation of performance and content make information more easily useful for users of assistive technologies. In addition, the user interface control encapsulates all relevant metadata such as labels, thus increasing the reaches of applications using different modalities (ModALITIES). In fact, XFORMS technology allows you to send the same form to PDA, cellular phone, screen reader, or conventional desktop - without losing the functionality of end users.
XForms help creators and improve user experience -----------------------------
XForms allows the creator to specify the relationship between the characteristics and values of the collected values, such as a special field should be an email address; the total field is the sum of a separate project; if the credit card number is required if the credit card number is required. These are specified by using simple features, such as the required field, or by giving the type of the field, rather than using the extension necessary to use in the traditional HTML form.
This means that the user experience has been greatly improved because the browser can always remind the user anyfill the wrong field before the form is submitted.
XForms brings XML's power to online form ------------------------------
XML is at the heart of the XForms model and bringing the key advantages of XForms technology:
* The data received from XForm is already stronger type, a well-final, easy to verify, and processes, in other words, it is XML. * Results known as "instance data" Description Use XML 1.0 to ensure that the submitted data can be conveniently international. * XForms can be used to "edit" any XML document. * Service handles existing XML Schemas can be easily validated for instance data. * XML Schemas can be multiplexed across XForms to help keep form sets are the latest and consistent. * XForms can talk to Web Services, and ultimately users integrate into the Web Services for the WEB SERVICES.
In addition, the XForms is initially designed to be integrated with XHTML, but can also be adopted in any suitable markup language, such as scalable vector graphics (SVG). XFORMS uses XML Events - another W3C technology issued today to define an XML-based declarative event processor (Handlers), which covers the usual use case, which reduces complex scripts for the event processor. Demand, thereby, most of the XForms documents can be analyzed by static analysis.
XForms has been widely implemented ---------------------
Without a W3C specification, like XForms, such an early stage of its development cycle is so broad. Existing live actors can deliver the same form to different devices, including cellular phones, PDAs, voice browsers, PCs, and even for instant messaging clients. Some large-scale communities are raging, especially the UK E-Government Collaborative Framework, said that "current guidance is to use the XForms 1.0 standard defined by the W3C" (page 14 of this article). XFORMS BASIC is a PROFRMS for the XForms for local implementation of XForms locally on your mobile device. It is currently a W3C candidate standard. When a mobile device has passed the XForms test suit, it is expected to become a formal standard.
XFORMS Working Group includes industry leaders -----------------------------
In this competition in form technology, so many leaders work for development of public standardization technology, which is unprecedented. The W3C's XForms Working Group is the result of these technical and industry leader gatherings, and take out the results of direct value on the Web today. The XForms Working Group includes W3C members and invited experts, they come from: Adobe, CWI, Cardiff, Helsinki University of Technology, IBM, Mozquito Technologies, Novell, Oracleporation, Origo Services, Pureedge, SAP, Sun Microsystems, X-PORT.NET LTD .
