XForms help needed - Multiple form per document submission problem

Hi,

I've been experimenting with Mozilla's XForms implementation for about a
week and I can't seem to find the solution for the following problem:

I am including in the XHTML document several models as follows:

....
<xf:model id="Context">
<xf:instance xmlns="ctx">
<ctx:context>
<ctx:provider></ctx:provider>
<ctx:scheduleDate></ctx:scheduleDate>
</ctx:context>
</xf:instance>
<xf:submission id="notUsed" method="post"
action="http://localhost:8080/XForms/Submit" />
</xf:model>

<xf:model id="Schedule">
<xf:instance src="http://localhost:8080/XForms/XFormsData" />

<xf:bind nodeset="/schedule/provider" id="schedule" />

<xf:submission id="getRequest" method="get"
action="http://localhost:8080/XForms/Submit" />

<xf:submission id="postRequest" method="post"
action="http://localhost:8080/XForms/Submit" />

<xf:submission id="putRequest" method="put"
action="http://localhost:8080/XForms/Submit" />
</xf:model>

.... the submit button section looks like


<xf:submit model="Schedule" submission="getRequest">
<xf:label>Save (GET)</xf:label>
</xf:submit>

<xf:submit model="Schedule" submission="postRequest">
<xf:label>Save (POST)</xf:label>
</xf:submit>

<xf:submit model="Schedule" submission="putRequest">
<xf:label>Save (PUT)</xf:label>
</xf:submit>

If I comment out the Context model the Schedule data submission
(GET/POST/PUT)is fine. However for this code the form will not POST or
PUT and will try to send a GET with no parameters.

According to section "2.4 - Multiple Forms per Document" this should be
OK and I've seen the Novell plugin for IE6 actually posting this data
which confuses me even further.

I would really appreciate some help regarding what am I doing wrong here!

I just tried submission with two different models, including an external
instance in the second one. Seems to work for me.

Which version of Mozilla/Firefox and xforms.xpi are you using? Are you getting
any errors on the JavaScript console?

Hi Allan,

The Mozilla/Firefox version is Deer Park Alpha 1 (rv: 1.8b2, Gecko
20050531). I downloaded it and the matching xforms.xpi from
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xforms/ (the Windows section). I did not
try newer versions from the nightly build so far.

There are no errors or warnings in the JavaScript console.
