“no declaration for element tabindex”

[Jim Locker]

Huh? I am trying to convert some forms from superbase to Simpol forms. I use the tool provided to generate an xml file, then try to load it into superbase personal, and this is the error message I get.

There is an update to this tool, look in the demos library. There was a
mismatch between the form converter and the DTD.

The new tool created a form that personal would open, for the form that
had previously bombed, but I then tried to convert a different form and it
bombed.

First error from personal indicates that the <valueon> value </valueon>
doesn't work if value contains an ampersand. I had <valueon> DP&L
</valueon> which bombed with an error message "expecting a ;". This
worked after I changed it by manually editing the XML file to remove the
ampersand.

After this manual edit, I tried again to load the xml file, and got the
error message: "Element sdf1link does not carry attribute ID". I again
looked at the xml and I have no idea what belongs there.

However, this is what is there:

<!ELEMENT sdf1link (sourcefield, sourcetable, targetfield, targettable,
childlinks?, siblinglinks?)>
<!ATTLIST sdf1link
id CDATA #REQUIRED

Will do. You want the .sbv file also?

[Jim Locker]

Duh. I guess you want the sbv file primarily. Not enough coffee this
morning.

Can you send me the form file? I will have a look. It is not impossible
that the code that generates links is not as robust as the other bits.

Both would be nice. If the SBV requires tables, I will need whatever is
required to run the conversion. As for needing coffee, I am absolutely
trashed by a heavy cold/flu bug at the moment, so I am not getting
nearly as much time in right now as I normally manage.
