I have an Orbeon app that displays a table of test results and in this table are upload controls that enable the user to upload the data required by for analysis. I setting up this table I need to disable the xforms:upload control according to the field in my initialization data.
I was trying to use an AVT to invoke display:none style where ever the code finds required="true" in the instance data - but as far as I can tell this has no effect on the displayed output from Form Runner. Can anyone help please?
My XML data and code is below - please see the xforms:upload tag for the location of my problem (display: none):
Sample output:
+------+------+---------------------+------------------------+--------+
| Test | Case | EB Log | COM Log | Status |
+------+------+---------------------+------------------------+--------+
| 022 | 01 | Upload | | |
+------+------+---------------------+------------------------+--------+
| 022 | 02 | Upload | | |
+------+------+---------------------+------------------------+--------+
| 032 | 01 | | Upload | |
+------+------+---------------------+------------------------+--------+
| 032 | 02 | Upload | Upload | |
+------+------+---------------------+------------------------+--------+
| 032 | 03 | Upload | | |
+------+------+---------------------+------------------------+--------+
| 032 | 04 | Upload | | |

A common trick is to use the ref attribute and place a condition on it. So, your upload will simply look like this:
<xforms:upload ref="com_log[@required = 'false']" ...>
This works because if the condition is false, then the ref attribute points to the empty sequence. And a control with a binding pointing to an empty sequence is automatically made non-relevant.
