XForms, Validate with schema types

Motivation

You would like to use a library of XML Schema simple types with restrictions to validate your form.

Notice

Most type validation with the exception of the most simple types does not currently work under the FireFox extension.

Sample Program sample.xhtml

xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:ftype="http://www.example.com/my-file-types">;

Validate Postal Codes
type="text/css">
@namespace xf url("http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms");
xf|input {
display: table-row;
line-height: 2em;
}

xf|label {
display: table-cell;
text-align: right;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;;
font-weight: bold;
padding-right: 5px;
width: 150px;
}

*:required {
background-color: yellow;
}

*:invalid {
background-color: pink;
}

schema="schema.xsd">
src="instance.xml" />
id="zip" required="true()" type="ftype:zipType" nodeset="ftype:zip" />
id="zip2" required="true()" type="ftype:zip2Type" nodeset="ftype:zip2" />

bind="zip" incremental="true">
Zip Code:
Validation is not correctly specified for this field
The 'Zip Code' failed to validate!

bind="zip2" incremental="true">
Zip Code 2:
Validation is correctly specified for this field

value="concat('The "', name(), '" failed to validate!')" />

Example XML Schema File schema.xsd

xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:ftype="http://www.example.com/my-file-types"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/my-file-types"
elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
name="data">

Test XML Schema

name="zip" type="ftype:zipType"/>

name="zipType">
base="xs:string">

value="\d{5}"/>

name="zip2Type">
base="xs:string">

value="^\d{5}$"/>

Sample instance document instance.xml

xmlns="http://www.example.com/my-file-types">;
