 +====== < initial > ======
  
 +===== Description =====
 +
 +The < initial > element declares initial logic upon entry into a mixed-initiative form.
 +Unlike < field >, < initial > has no grammars and no < filled > action.  < initial > can request user input and handle events.  < initial > continues to be visited while its form item variable is undefined and its condition is true.  When any of the form’s fields are filled in by user input, then all < initial > form item variables are set to true, before any < filled > actions are executed.  Then the form will visit those fields that are still unfilled to complete the form.
 +
 +===== Syntax =====
 +
 +<code>
 +<initial
 +name="String"
 +expr="ECMAScript_Expression"
 +cond="ECMAScript_Expression">
 +child elements
 +</initial>
 +</code>
 +
 +===== Attributes =====
 +
 +|name|The name attribute represents the name of form item variable used.  Use this variable if you want to explicitly control the <initial> execution.  This attribute is optional and defaults to an inaccessible internal variable.|
 +|expr|The expr attribute is the initial value of the form item variable.  < initial > will be visited only if the expression evaluates to undefined.  This attribute is optional and defaults to undefined.|
 +|cond|The cond attribute is a Boolean condition that must evaluate to true in order for the <initial> element to be visited.  This attribute is optional and defaults to true.|
