Triggerring save / submit of another form
 
|
Hi,
How can save data in a form other than the one in which the submitbutton is clicked ? the page on www.uxfin.com contains 3 separate forms (separated by horizontal rules). Users may typically leave midway while entering data in the top form and click a submit button on any of the 2 lower forms. At that time the last value entered is not captured. How can I force this programmatically Thanks Sanjay
cheers,

Hi
I thought this problem must already have a solution ... fairly commonplace in a screen with multiple form areas - say master/detail or matrix like - if the user moves between areas and clicks a submitButton attached to a form then there is some data / state loss in the other form - so how can that be saved also somewhat related - How can i trap the event lose focus or when i move out of a field regards Sanjay
cheers,
Sanjay |

I believe there can only be one form on a page.

From book.seaside.st section 10.2 end ... I assumed this meant that there can be multiple forms on a page "[...],. Typically only a single form tag is needed on a page. form tags must not be nested but multiple form tags can occur, one after another, on a single page. Only the contents of a single form will be submitted by the web browser though (normally determined by the form in which the user clicked a submit button)." regards Sanjay

if you use multiple, the contents of the others is lost, very logical/normal

Well it may be logical but at this time I am looking for a solution / workaround --- On 10 Mar 2015 22:04, "Sven Van Caekenberghe-2 [via Smalltalk]" <[hidden email]> wrote:

In reply to this post by Sanjay Minni
You could prevent the default action of the submit button and then use javascript to serialize the forms. Look at the JQAjax>>#serializeForm: message. I don't know how/whether it would work with multiple forms but I'd guess it would work fine if you gave every form you wanted to serialize the same class and did a html button bePush onClick:(html jQuery ajax serializeForm:(html jQuery class: 'myFormCssClass'); with:'submit all forms'. Another approach would be to serialize the form inputs when the user changes them by adding an onChange: method to the input. Then when they click any of the buttons determine what processing & view updating needs to be done based on what changed and do it. Another approach might be to make it all one form, remove the intermediate buttons, and just have the one button and the big form that's broken up visually how you have the multiple forms now. Whats the point of 7 forms when its really just 1 sometimes? Hope this helps
