Hi Grégoire,
I understand that you would like the HTML part of the form to be
initialized at server side so output controls, select controls and
prefilled input controls could be indexed by search engines.
By default, all controls are disabled so no funny value is displayed
when loading. The XSLT stylesheet could probably do a lot of stuff
enabling some controls with the correct initial value but initializing
actions might be difficult, or even impossible, to apply.
Doing this manually is, of course, possible but can be very time
consuming, don't you think? If so, it remains that the Javascript
objects have to be initialized and that the first build is to perform
without modifying the rendered values.
I don't know yet server side Javascript engines but I would be surprised
if they were capable to interpret JS instructions which actually
interact with the HTML DOM.
Thanks!
