2003-10-14: The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) today released XForms 1.0 and XML Events as W3C Recommendations. The specifications have been reviewed by the W3C Membership, who favor their adoption by industry. Written for authors and implementers alike, XForms is the new generation of Web forms. XForms separate presentation and content, minimize round-trips to the server, offer device independence, and, using XML Events, reduce the need for scripting.
