DataLayer.XML - Using DataLayer.XML with Input Elements
One convenient use of XML data files is as a source of options for menus and list-type Input elements. An XML data file can be created quickly and is easy to edit and, unlike static data hard-coded into the application, an XML data file can be edited externally. Here's an example of a common use of XML data and DataLayer.XML for this purpose:
A DataLayer.XML has been added beneath an Input Select List element and its attributes set to use the sample XML file, shown in DataLayer.XML - Working with DataLayer.XML. In the Input Select List's attributes, "Brand" is identified as the Caption Column and "Code" as the Value Column.
