Hi all,
I've been thinking for a few weeks to add AJAX support to CForms.
Ajax is the current buzzword in the blogosphere since Google maps
[1] started and the folks at Adaptivepath found this name for the
XmlHttpRequest + JS + XML combo [2].

Two days hacking, most of which dedicated to writing client-side JS
and solving cross-browser compatibility problems and here we are:
adding ajax="true" on <ft:form-template> turns on the magic.

I have turned on ajax mode on the following samples:
- http://localhost:8888/forms-samples/carselector
- http://localhost:8888/forms-samples/do-dynaRepeater.flow
- http://localhost:8888/forms-samples/do-datasourceChooser.flow
- http://localhost:8888/forms-samples/do-taskTree.flow
<snip/>
Enjoy,
Sylvain
Well I have only just read this mail, and haven't had a chance to
look at the samples, but it looks pretty useful to me. I'll look
into it soon.
Nice one Silvain... I'm sure there are others that appreciate this
effort.
It looks really promising. I was not able to run the samples. Firefox
has rendered the retrieved list as text (outside selection widget). IE
just showed javascript error and did nothing.
Doh! I understand why you say "promising" :-(
I tested it successfully with Firefox 1.0 on MacOS and Windows and IE 6.
The behaviour you describe with Firefox is what I had to fight a lot
with: Node.importNode() effectively imports nodes, but that doesn't mean
they're considered as HTML nodes, in which case only their text is
displayed.
If you look at the new DOMUtils.importNode() in the new cforms.js,
you'll see the quirks I used to workaround this weirdness: use ".xml"
and ".innerHTML" properties with IE, and traverse the node tree for
other browsers. I'm far from being a JS-on-browsers expert, so that may
for sure not be the most "compatible" solution.
Is there something printed in Firefox's JS console, and what is the IE
error?
I'll recheck it this evening and give you as much feedback as possible.
