Expressions supported by HTML clients

A simplified subset of reference syntax expressions are supported by HTML clients:

•	FormCalc calculations are not valid in HTML browsers and are removed prior to the form being rendered in HTML.

•	The ellipsis (…) syntax is not supported.

•	When writing a client-side script for HTML forms, you must use the JavaScript resolveNode expression to locate nodes in the hierarchy. The script cannot walk the hierarchy using object notation. For example, the following expression is not supported:

xfa.form.subform1.TextEdit1

The following expression is supported:

xfa.form.resolveNode(“subform1.TextEdit1″)

Unqualified field references may be used to locate sibling fields in the hierarchy.

Note:

If you choose the HTML4 transformation to support Netscape Navigator 4.7.x, any JavaScript designated to run on the client is automatically run at the server instead.
