W3C Advances XForms 1.0 (Dr. Dobb's)

[Posted November 13, 2002 by cook]

Dr. Dobb's covers the release of Candidate Recommendation 1.0 for XForms. "XForms is seen as the foundation for next-generation Web-based forms, using XML to make it possible to write forms in a number of markup languages and deliver them to diverse devices, from PDAs to cell phones and screen readers, without having to rewrite the forms. The specification achieves this by giving authors the ability to distinguish the descriptions of the purpose of the form from the presentation of the form and how the results are written in XML."
