Hello,
I have a form in a view which is created using the FormHelper in the
following way:
echo $this->Form->create(False, array('action' => 'something', 'type'
=> 'get'));
I then have an input for the form defined in the following way:
echo $this->Form->input('department', array('id' => 'department',
'options' => $departments, 'empty' => '(select)'));
When the form type is set to Get in this way, the HTML rendered for
the form input does not contain a name attribute (the name attribute
is empty):
<select name="" id="department"> ... </select>
But when I change the form type to Post like this:
echo $this->Form->create(False, array('action' => 'something', 'type'
=> 'post'));
and render the same input, the resulting HTML is:
<select id="department" name="data[department]"> ... </select>
Why does the name disappear for Get type forms? I noticed that this
hidden input is not rendered with Get, but it is with Post:
<div style="display: none;"><input type="hidden" value="POST"
name="_method"></div>
This is causing problems when I try to serialize the form data for an
ajax request using the JsHelper - even though the ajax request uses
the POST method, the form data is incomplete because it does not have
any names.
Thanks in advance for your help!
