Is there a reason why this RadioButton group doesn't ever call the callback?

Hello

I am sure I am missing something very obvious - hence the posting on the beginners' list.

I am working through the seaside book, and everything has been fine, until I tried to replace my select item with a radio group. The form renders correctly, but never fires the callbacks.  Could someone poke me with a clue stick?  By the way, the self halts are in there because when I put the halt commands in the beMale beFemale methods, they never fired either. So I was working my way back up the chain.

The strange thing is that the other text input boxes (removed in this snippet) updated the model correctly.

renderContentOn:html

| group |

html form:

[

group := html radioGroup.

html text:'male'.

html radioButton

group: group;

selected: self contact isMale;

callback: [self halt].

html text: 'female'.

html radioButton

group: group;

selected: self contact isFemale;

callback: [self halt].

html submitButton on: #save of:self.

]

Cheers

Andy

Did you add the submitOnClick sends to the radioButton tags?

Hey Andy

I have a radio group defined like this (using your code):

renderContentOn:html

| group |

html form:

[

html radioGroup [ :rg |

rg radioButton

                        submitOnClick;

selected: self contact isMale;

callback: [self halt];

                        with: [html text:'male'].

                rg radioButton...etc

]

Hope that helps

John

Thanks John, 

That does fix part of the problem. Initially the radio buttons weren't actually in concert - the code in the Seaside book wasn't producing 'name="something"' code.  I wonder whether that code would ever work?

Anyway, unfortunately, the callbacks are still not working. It is very odd.  The form renders properly, it is just that the callbacks never fire.  The code below shows two version - radio button and select statement. The select version works perfectly.  I would be really interested to know how to go about debugging this.

renderContentOn:html

html form:

[

html radioGroup: [ :rg |

rg radioButton

selected: self contact isMale;

callback: [self contact beMale];

                        with: [html text:'male'].

rg radioButton

selected: self contact isFemale;

callback: [self contact beFemale];

                        with: [html text:'female'].

].

html select

list: #(#Male #Female);

selected: self contact gender;

callback: [:value| (value=#Male) ifTrue:[self contact beMale] ifFalse:[self contact beFemale]].

html submitButton on: #save of:self.

]

Cheers

Andy
