Simplify connecting a link or form to an (enclosing) Zone
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: TAP5-1295
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-1295
Project: Tapestry 5
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: tapestry-core
Affects Versions: 5.2.2
Reporter: Howard M. Lewis Ship
Priority: Minor
Currently, when connecting a link to a zone, you bind the zone parameter of the
link to the client-side id of the Zone.
To do this, you must know the client-side id of the Zone.
It would be nice if the zone value could be evaluated on the client and make
use of the rendered DOM to simplify this.
I thought the special string "^" could mean "the containing Zone", and could be
located via the "t-zone" CSS class that Zones normally have.
An extended form could be "^.foo" to find an enclosing element with CSS class
foo and assume that is the zone (this would help when dealing with nested
zones).
The exact syntax is up for debate but the idea is that the connection could be
made on the client-side without having to deal with the (relative) intricacies
of either assigning a zone id explicitly, or reading the Zone's id.
