I almost done my project, but when I try to publish it to SharePoint I got following error message " Preserve code blocks are not supported in web browser forms. To fix this problem, remove the code" :(

I am in trouble, any luck or alternate solution with this error message.

Sorry. Use < instead of <.

<xsl:if test="not(node()[not(self::text())]) and not(self::text() or local-name() = '') and . != ''
 and (count(. | ../@xml:lang) != count(../@xml:lang)) and string-length(.) < 250">

After i add and string-length(.) < 250, it gives error at < sign Expecting '>'

I can't think of an easy way to specifically restrict attachments, but if you modify the part that looks like:

not(node()[not(self::text())]) and not(self::text() or local-name() = '') and . != '' and (count(. | ../@xml:lang) != count(../@xml:lang))

to add

and string-length(.) < 250

at the end. This should filter out practically any attachment. Use a number bigger than 250 if you think there will be fields with more than 250 characters.

I got it how to Preserve Code block works.

Can you tell me how can I restrict "Attachment" control information to appear in summary.

Or I only want to show attached file name, currently it shows contents of file.

Thanks

The attached form uses some XSL tricks to dynamically display the name and value of any non-blank field in the form. Even if you add new nodes to the data source, it will take those into account. It can't show the fields' labels, but it will show their names. Is this sufficient for what you need?

You will need to add ALL controls to the third view. Then hide or show them via conditional formatting, i.e. Hide if the field is blank.

Good luck!

Hi All,

I have three views in my infopath form template.

1. View 1 (textbox, dropdownlist, repeating table)

2. View 2 (Textbox, Dropdownlist)

3. View 3 (Empty)

Now I want that whenever I switch to View 3, this view shows me all cotrols with values (Or simple values of controls) which are filled in View 1, and View 2.

Suppose (I made following selection / input at view 1 , and 2):

View1: Textbox text is = "My Infopath 1", and in View 2 : Textbox value is = "My Infopath 2", and Dropdownllist selected values is = "Value3".

Now I want to see all these three values at View 3

Any Label = "My Infopath1"

Any Label = "My Infopath 2"

Any Label = "Value 3"

Looking forward for you guyz nice cooperation.
