Description
The XForms technology gives you many advantages over ordinary XHTML forms. The XForms technology separates your form's data and presentation and submits your data as XML. XForms-aware applications can validate your data as you type it and can also submit your data to different servers and even store it in files. This tutorial shows you how to use Mozilla to start working with XForms.
