[phpesp-dev] id tags for forms so javasrcript can get a handle

[Emmett B. <ch...@be...>]

Developers,

Would you consider putting id= tags for each question so that 
javascripts can get and put data to the forms?  Javascript labels must 
start with alphabetical characters and the $qid's are numerical.  This 
would help entering dates and times since respondents could just click 
a calendar icon next to the form and a javascript could display 
graphical calendar for the date submission.  I've done this for 
mktext(...) in lib/esphtml.forms.inc and it looks like this:

function mktext ($_name, $size = 20, $max = 0, $varr = null) {
     if ($varr == null)
         $varr =& $GLOBALS['HTTP_POST_VARS'];
     $size = intval($size);
     $max  = intval($max);
     $str = "size=\"$size\"";
     $id = "id=\"id${_name}\"";   // <------ new id tag
     if ($max)   $str .= " maxlength=\"$max\"";    if 
(isset($varr[$_name]))        return('<input type="text" '. $str .' 
name="'. htmlspecialchars($_name) .'" value="'. 
htmlspecialchars($varr[$_name]) .'"'. $id .' />');    return('<input 
type="text" '. $str .' name="'. htmlspecialchars($_name) .'"'.  $id .' 
/>');
}
