#10 Client side javascript control of fields

[Filippo]

Sorry if this is already implemented somehow, I'm
studying echo since a week - but it would be nice to be
able to embed in textfields a javascript function to
check for correctness (for instance a regular expression
check) without having to trip to the server.

This is my first day using echo :)

I like it so far !

I am thinking that a client side library to allow richer
interactivity with all types of components would be a fine idea.

Some things I would like :

a) to be able to assign a custom (user defined) unique
identifyer to a component so that it can be looked up in
javascript (rather than always using the id's that are
generated)

b) provide javascript objects that allow dynamic changes to
certain things

1) like form field values - i.e. allow a button to trigger a
javaScriptAction, that modifies the value of a form field.

2) assign a javascriptAction to a table row selection, so
that it changes the table cell styles without a trip to the
server. It could store the property change event in the
queue until a trip to the server is required.

and the list goes on :)

Is there a specific place for these ideas ?
