WAHtmlRenderer or WAHtmlCanvas?

Ciao,
i started to work on a simple application with seaside almost a month ago,
currently i'm subclassing WAHtmlCanvas and using it as 'rendererClass' for my
components.

My goal was to extend seaside to render SVG graphics inline, generating it
inside xhtml, and this has worked fine so far

However, trying some examples from the seaside official documentation,
http://seaside.st/Documentation/LinksFormsandCallbacks/
for example:
<pre>
html form:
  [html text: 'Name: '.
   html textInputWithValue: person name callback: [:val | person name: val].
   html break.
   html submitButton]
</pre>

results in an error, since methods like #textInputWithValue:callback: are
implemented in WAHtmlRenderer which is not in my hierarchy.

Searching in this list i found a message from a couple of years ago that says
"WAHtmlCanvas is still under development, don't use it"

What is the state of development today? Is WAHtmlCanvas ready to be used?
if so, what is the equivalent of #textInputWithValue:callback: with the new API?

Thanks
Marco

WAHtmlCanvas is the default render since Seaside 2.7. WAHtmlRenderer
is deprecated in 2.7 and completely gone in 2.8alpha. The examples on
the web site should be updated ...

Cheers,

I put a comment on every page of the documentation (not only the index
page) that tells clearly that the documentation is outdated. If
anybody is willing to improve this documentation (especially in the
context of the new web-site), please ask here for the password.

Cheers,
Lukas

i never checked my version, it's the latest from cincom store and turns out to
be Seaside2.6b1-mb.133.mcz.. i guess they don't update it too often..

if it's matter of updating source code examples, i can do that!

In seaside 2.7 and newer, WAHtmlCanvas is the default renderer. Which version of seaside are you using?

i'm using VisualWorks and Seaside 2.7 is not in the public Cincom repository,
Michel Bany is currently working on it.
(in the previous message i said the last update was from a year ago but just
because i have problem remembering that we are in 2007... ;-P)

In the meanwhile i found that using WAHtmlRenderer for some components and
WAHtmlCanvas for some others (and all children) works too!

Careful! WAHtmlCanvas is not a very useful renderer.
For the canvas api, use WARenderCanvas (default in 2.7)
For the classic api, use WAHtmlRenderer (default in 2.6)

HTH,
Michel.
