Maybe you can use the solution I am employing: Showing only a single
repeat item (containing many controls), and using navigation buttons to
move to previous/next item. You can see some screenshots at
http://www.ntnu.no/~engmark/personal/picture/LIMO/1.7.0/, and the XForms
is at
http://isscvs.cern.ch/cgi-bin/viewcvs-all.cgi/install/tomcat/webapps/chiba/forms/jobs.xhtml?rev=HEAD&cvsroot=moi&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup.
Use as you want.
