Hi!
XForms are W3C's alternative (I don't know if I can use that
word) to traditional Web Forms and aim to provide
1. XML Integration
2. Separation of purpose and presentation
3. Device Independance
The stages of processing are:
1. Initialization:
2. Interaction: Events that notify system change and events that make things to happen
3. Process/ Submit:
4. Destruct
You can go on to
W3C - XForms for more info....
