XForms is a World Wide Web Consortium recommendation for creating web forms and web applications. XForms is easy to learn, provides a rich user experience and does not require you to learn JavaScript. This is a collaborative project and we encourage everyone who is using XForms to contribute their complete working XForms examples. All example programs must conform to the creative-commons-2.5 share-alike with attribution license agreement [1]. Note: We have restructured the main page to make it easier to classify your examples. Note for example that now all the search examples have been grouped together. The "Next Page" links have not yet been updated. Instructors: please sign our Guest Registry if you are using this book for learning or teaching XForms. Contributors: please see our Naming Conventions to ensure your examples are consistent with the textbook. If you are looking for a specific example program, please feel free to use the Examples Wanted section. If you feel these examples are useful please create links to this site. This book has over 30 contributors. Recent Changes Google Code Version Control System Book Statistics Related Wikibooks: XQuery XForms/REST/XQuery Note: Almost all of the examples have been tested with the FireFox 2.0 XForms addon and the newer 0.8.6ff3 FireFox 3.0 addon. Please let us know if you find any errors.

At last, XForms-officially described at http://www.w3.org/TR/xforms-provides a way for web forms to serve as XML data collection tools. Increasingly, IT departments are using XML and native XML databases to store mission-critical data. Workflow and routing systems rely on XML for data representation. Web services, which are growing immensely in popularity, are the final piece of the puzzle-making it easy (and providing needed tool support) to send and receive XML data and documents.

The Forms working group is chartered by the W3C to develop the next generation of forms technology for the world wide web. The mission is to address the patterns of intricacy, dynamism, multi-modality, and device independence that have become prevalent in Web Forms Applications around the world. The technical reports of this working group have the root name XForms due to the use of XML to express the vocabulary of the forms technology developed by the working group. The Forms Working Group is comprised of W3C members and invited experts. The Working Group meets weekly by phone. Face to face meetings occur roughly every 3 months and are hosted by member organizations. We are especially interested in people with a rich experience in developing Web forms and supporting tools.
