Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: XForms, defect)

In 0.5RC

Given an input element whose label uses a relative xpath, like

<xf:input ref="@selected">
 <xf:label ref="../@ordernumber" />
</xf:input>

This works outside of a repeat but fails in the repeat.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the test sample

Actual Results:  
No value is retrieved for the label

Expected Results:  
Label should have the correct value like it does outside of repeat.

Also the attached example shows another refresh issue in repeat.

The use of index() in a labels ref in the repeat causes strange behavoir and
page lockup. I realize that this use doesn't make sense and is incorrect,
but shouldn't cause layout issues.

problem seems to be with the context node that label is getting when trying to bind.  In my simplified testcase, the context node coming back for the label is the <item>, not the @value of the <item>.

Attachment: Testcase

Yet another testcase. It seems like the problem is more refined, it's only when you use attributes that it fails. And Aaron is right, it uses the node, and not the attribute as the context node.

as far as I can tell, the label issue is gone in 0.7.  The refresh issue Brad noticed still exists, though.

Can it be related with bug 362308?
