> The HtmlCommandJSCookMenu component renders its own html-form called
> linkDummyForm. If it is embedded into another form the other form (including
> its children) will never be decoded because its submitted-property is set to
> false in UIForm.decode().
> It should be possible to control wether the HtmlCommandJSCookMenu component
> should render its own form or should be part of an existing form.
> In my application I developed a solution for this problem.
> 1. The HtmlJSCookMenuTag needs a new property, which holds the id of the form
> which is the parent of this tag. I called it formId. This new property has to
> be added in HtmlJSCookMenuTag.setProperties().
> 2. The HtmlCommandJSCookMenu component needs the formId property, described
> in step 1, aswell. And it has to be added to saveState() and restoreState()
> 3. The HtmlJSCookMenuRenderer has to read the formId of its component.
> 3.1 If it is not set everything stays as it is in the moment. That means:
> DummyFormResponseWriter.writeDummyForm is set to true, which causes the
> writer to append a linkDummyForm at the end of the rendered html page.
> 3.2 If it is set writeDummyForm of DummyFormResponseWriter is set to false.
> Instead of rendering a form (called linkDummyForm) at the end of the rendered
> html page, there are only two input-fields, which will be rendered within
> HtmlJSCookMenuRenderer.encodeChildren(): jscook_action, which holds the
> choosed actionstring from the menu (in the moment it is rendered as part of
> the linkDummyForm only) and a new field named jscook_form_id which gets the
> formId of the HtmlCommandJSCookMenu component.
> 4. The cmItemMouseUp function within the JavaScript library named
> JSCookMenu.js needs to read the jscook_form_id field, rendered previously in
> step 3.2 like this:
> -------begin code--------------------------------------------
> var formId = null;
> var dummyForm = null;
> var inputFormIds = document.getElementsByName('jscook_form_id');
> if (inputFormIds.length > 0) {
> formId = inputFormIds[0].value;
> dummyForm = document.forms[formId];
> } else {
> dummyForm = document.forms['linkDummyForm'];
> }
>
> dummyForm.elements['jscook_action'].value = link;
> dummyForm.submit();
> ------------end code-------------------------
> 5. Moreover it is needed to configure the immediate attribute of the
> component in the HtmlJSCookMenuTag. In the moment it is hardcoded in
> HtmlCommandJSCookMenu. There exists another issue here in the database
> concerning this point.
