help with a form

Hello all!

I have the following form defined:

        html form
                defaultAction: [self saveRecord];
                name: 'reviewForm';
                with: [self checkBoxFor: obj on: html]


and checkBoxFor:on:

                html checkbox
                        submitFormNamed: 'reviewForm';
                        value: object reviewed;
                        callback: [:val | reviewValue := val].


When I click on the checkbox, the form is submitted as I expect, but  
saveRecord is never run... Anyone have any ideas?


Thanks!

Brian

If you look at the source of the page you'll notice that #defaultAction
sets up an invisible input that allows one to hit Enter key from within
the form to submit (see WAFormTag>>before), in which case your callback
will run just fine. Can you just call #saveRecord from within the
checkbox callback?

Hope this helps,

-Boris

Thanks, Boris! That did the trick.

Is it right that a form's values can only be captured when the form's submit
button is clicked and that there can only be one submit button on a form?  I
can't have a checkbox and a button both act as a submit, but have different
callbacks, for example?

A web page can have more than one form, right?  And each can have its own
submit button?

Sorry if these are rank beginner questions, but I am really new to web
programming.

Thanks,

You could use AJAX.

There can be multiple submit buttons per form but only the callback of
the clicked one is evaluated.

The checkbox can have a different callback than the button. If you hit
the button, first the checkbox callback will be evaluated, then the
button callback.

You could make the checkbox sumit on change (not implemented right now
but should be simple). This way the form will be submitted when the
checkbox value is changed.

Yes. Note that you can not nest forms.

Actually, there is a convenience method in WACheckboxTag,  
#submitFormNamed: which creates an onClick event to submit the named  
html form. Just make sure you have the WAStandardScript as part of  
your app in the configuration.

Yeah, be #beSubmitOnChange of WASelectTag is much nicer. No need to
fiddle around with form ids.
Damn do I want Traits.
