Different actions upon form submission possible?

Hi again everyone,

I have a form and i wanted to have different actions being performed
upon form submission (i.e: 'save', 'apply', 'verify', etc...), i think
this is pretty easy to achieve by having different callbacks on
different submit buttons. The problem is that i didn't want to use
submit buttons but instead some anchors that i have up in the page in
some kind of toolbar. Is there someway to achieve this?

Thanks in advance for the help,

Alex Paes

Ok, just answering myself,


I have achieved this by adding a hidden input field and then setting
this hidden filed value before submitting the form, then on the callback
for that element i validate the value and send delegate to the desired
method.

If anyone knows a better way to achieve this i'd be glad to hear it.

JavaScript. For example using an Scriptaculous something along this should work:

html anchor
    onClick: (html evaluator
       triggerFormNamed: 'formId';
       callback: [ :script |
          self validate; whatever; something.
          script refresh ]);
    with: 'validate'

Thanks Lukas,

I keep forgetting about ajax since i'm not used to using it all that
much. This way i can easily deploy many different actions.

Maybe you can help me with some other Ajax doubt.

I have several containers expanded by an SUEffect. Is there a way to
have an Evaluator be applied to these containers, but only to expanded
ones (by testing visible for instance)? I think i can achieve this
relatively easily but only performing one Ajax request per container,
since the callback would be the same, would there be a way to do this
with a single request?


Thanks for all the help,
