    Motivation

    After a save, you want to display a line at the end of your form to confirm that the results have been saved to the server. You also want to notify the user of any errors after a save.

    Method

    We will use the submission element to save the data and return the save results. We will use the <xf:group> to show either a success (in green) or a failure (in red).
