How to get multiple selected items from the drop down in xforms

Question

I have a select control with multiple selection in xforms, when i select more than one item it is mapped to single node with space separated value. but i wanted multiple items selected as multiple nodes

Answer 1

This won't work with plain XForms, since xforms:select is defined to be bound to a single node. You will have to split up the selected values by postprocessing the node value, for example by reacting on the onValueChange event, or by transforming the resulting instance using XSLT.
