Are there any Designers for XForms?

Question

I am searching for a designer or an IDE which can be used to create XForms by dragging and dropping elements.

I found visual XForms designer by IBM at http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/vxd . But it is not that user friendly.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There is Orbeon Form Builder. See also the FAQ. It's open source.

It's not strictly a general-purpose XForms editor, but it's a form editor that deals with XHTML+XForms+extensions. If you don't want to use Orbeon Forms to process the forms generated, you could transform the result e.g. with XSLT.

(Disclaimer: I work on Orbeon Forms.)

Answer 2

I am also trying to find a good XForm designer. One that I found useful is Vellum - It is an XForms form designer written purely in Javascript and it's Open source.

Vellum targets modern browsers. IE8 and earlier are not supported. It is used in production by Commcare.
