XForms example with form submission

The XSmiles XForms example
<http://www.xsmiles.org/demo/testsui.../controls.xhtml>
doesn't work with Mozilla, form controls are rendered but no submission
happens, I suppose that is because submission is supposed to go to
<http://sinex.tml.hut.fi:8080/xforms/request>
which is different from the orginal origin www.xsmiles.org. It would be
nice if Mozilla would somehow indicate to the user that/why submission
fails, my build here (Mozilla 1.8b2 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT
5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050225) simply sits there and does nothing.

Are there any such similar XForms example online where form submission
works with Mozilla?

Hi Martin,

Well there are two things holding this back. One is the form itself.
It isn't valid XForms since the xf:submit element doesn't have a
submission attribute on it. So we don't know where to submit the data.
Once this is corrected, then you'd run into the security restriction.

Do you run a local webserver or J2EE environment? I could give you a
simple cgi or a simple servlet that will give you submit feedback. That
is how I personally do it. I opened a bug to see if we can't get a way
to specify trusted domains if you want to CC yourself on it ->

Have a good evening,
