Orbeon - how to get or set checkboxes

Question

I have a simple questio: how to get/set checkbox from checkboxes in orbeon?

Something like this: /myCheckboxes[value="itemVal"].isChecked()

Answer 1

That's right, the values are space-separated. To extract them, instead of contains() use this to check if value 42 is included:

tokenize(../myCheckboxGroup, '\s+') = '42'

By the way you don't need to write:

if (condition) true() else false()

You can always just write:

condition
