[oXygen-user] oxy_eval?

[Alex Jitianu]

Hi,

There is an /oxy_xpath()/ [1] function available that can execute XPath, 
but I'm not sure how it would help in this scenario. What comes to mind 
is the /onChange/ property on the combo box form control because it's 
value can be another action invoke when the combo commits a value. For 
example, you can invoke an XQuery update script [3] which can inspect 
the document to see what value was committed and can afterwards alter 
the document accordingly.

comboBox:before {
     *content*:"A combo box that edits an attribute value. The possible values are 
provided from CSS:"
         oxy_combobox(
             edit,"@attribute",
             editable, false,
             values,"value1, value2, value3",
             labels,"Value no1, Value no2, Value no3",
             onChange, oxy_action(
                 name,'Insert',
                 operation,'XQueryUpdateOperation',
                 arg-script,'insert node <product>{xs:string(@attribute)}</product> as last into .'));
