It would be nice to specifyan 'action' on the <netui:select> tag that would
correspond to a form submit on an onChange event

Key: BEEHIVE-1163
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-1163
Project: Beehive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: NetUI
Affects Versions: 1.0.1
Reporter: Nathan Olson
The <netui:anchor> tag has an 'action' and 'formSubmit' attribute that used in
conjuction, will submit the current form to an action that is different than
that specified in the enclosing <netui:form> tag. This works well when needing
to submit the form to an intermediate action and keep the rest of the form
around. It would be nice to have something similar surrounding a
<netui:select> tag. Here's a the use case I'm interested in;
I have a form that has two select fields and a textArea. However, the two
select fields are related, meaning that the value chosen in selectA then feeds
the options within selectB. So, I would like an action to be called when the
onChange event on selectA is called that will then update the values within
selectB. However, I don't want to lose the entire form as the user may have
input some value in the textArea. Then, when the user has filled the entire
form, the action on the form itself is submitted and processed.
I think there might be a workaround for this specific use case, but this is a
simplification of what I'm actually trying to accomplish (I've got many
inter-related select boxes with many other things within the form) and I think
solving this use case with same scenario that is used for the <netui:anchor>
tag would solve my complex use case.
