Christopher Highway commented on CLK-508:
-----------------------------------------
I personally think that everything you put in a form should be part of that
form, eg. return with post, and not get.
for Actionlinks:
This can be realised with a little javascript
(http://www.javascript-coder.com/javascript-form/javascript-form-submit.phtml)
Question is if this should be the responsability of the user or click.
A possible solution:
- Create a FormActionLink class which automatically adds the necessary
javascript to the page.
(optionally only allow formactionlinks to be added to a form)
- create a hiddenfield to keep information if/which actionlink was clicked.
(optionally provide functionality to create hidden field(s) for extra
parameters added to the actionlink)
- on return we need a check on the hidden field to see if/which actionlink was
clicked.
for ajax it is also possible to use post, but this is less trivial and probably
more a responsability for the user
for complex get/post controls (I haven't looked at the code, so this is just a
general observation):
if you move all the get's (opening nodes and so on) to ajax-calls, as these
calls do not (need to) destroy the form data, then at the end the form can
still be submitted using a simple submit.

>
> Currently Form determines whether its child controls should be processed
> based on whether Form was submitted or not. This restriction works well for
> Fields, however problems arise when adding components such as ActionLink,
> Tables and Trees which need to be processed even when Form is not submitted.
> Ajax based Fields also has this problem and often need to be added to the
> Page in order to be processed.
> This issue will try and address the problem by introducing a new Field method
> called "canProcess". This method will return true if the Form is submitted or
> if its a Ajax request.
