5 [#2378764] Forms Widget - ID: 1904422

Last Update: Comment added ( gpuckett )

Details:

A widget/module to create cross browser styled forms. A validation
functionality to create a form within 1 function. This should be for
<input>, <select>, <textarea> and any other usable tags that are used often
in forms. The button widget is nice, but needs way too much configuration
to quickly setup large forms.

I hope this makes sense, if not you can email me for more details (com
yahoo mvanleest_nl).

Something like:

YAHOO.util.Event.onContentReady("form1", function () {

var sideMenu = new YAHOO.widget.Form("form1", {type: "submit",
action:"/index.cfm?type=saveform" effect: { effect:
YAHOO.widget.ContainerEffect.FADE, duration: 0.25}
}
);

form1.render();

});

<form id="form1" action="">
<input name="textitem1" class="required pattern" type="text" />
<input name="textitem1_pattern" value="regexp pattern(or standard ones like
zip, state etc)" />

<div id="products" class="checkboxgroup">
<input name="checkbox" value="product1" />
<input name="checkbox" value="product2" />
<input name="checkbox" value="product3" />
<input name="checkbox" value="product4" />
<input name="checkbox" value="product5" />
<input name="products_maxcheck" type="hidden" value="2" />
</div>

<input name="checkForm" click="form1.validate()" />
</form>

Date: 2008-03-26 19:02 Sender: miraglia From http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ydn-javascript/message/27987: Prototpe provides some really sweet form manipulation type functionality. Including things deserialize etc. I also continually end up writting functionality involving form maniplaution. At my place of work i raised a jira to develop said form API and the following represents my basic requirements: YUI doesnt provide any real form manipulation type functionality. This is a real inadequacy as forms are key element in almost all AJAX applications. This api will probably need to be modelled off a number of different frameworks. We will be able to use YUI to do some of the work horse functionality we just need to bring it together into a coherent form manipulation object. Requirements 1) Retrieve form field value in a generic way. Probably useful to look at prototypes $F/Form.Element.getValue function 2) Provide a suite of serialize functions that turn html forms into JSON objects. Numerous occasions where you send JSON objects to the server rather than the fields or use json objects to make calls to the server or generate http requests. Or manipulate the JSON objects before turning them into a URL string. 3) Provide a suite of deserialize functions that populate html forms from JSON objects 4) Provide a suite of functions that populate html forms from id based span tags. More complicated than you think when you think about all the possible form element types. Basically extracting data from a row and populating a form with that data, providing duplicates in input fields is messy, you should only provide hidden spans where the value you want for populating differs from display value. Need to provide toParameterString method that takes a JSON object too.
