XForms 101 ?

Sorry, I'm a newbie. So far looking at the documentation I haven't found a cookbook to build a simple XForm. For example, what's supposed to be in the location field? Do I have to populate Body or can I just upload and default the content? Please just point me to the right documentation, thx.

You can try this for starters…

You may also want to download the example website framework.
There are some good .xsd and .xslt examples there.

In case another newbie comes along, here are some notes. I looked for the web framework but it's not available to check out yet. However, I eventually figured out that if we define an XSD in the data dictionary, then create a Web project that includes that document type, when we create content for that XSD we implicitly get built an XForm that is invoked when we select the edit content option. This is a rudimentary XForm (as yet) for which we don't have direct control over edits, logic, etc., nor do we have access to the XForm itself. Ability to edit that is a future goal.
