Hi,

I've been continuing to work on Ajax/Form functionality.

Last couple of days has been on a component I'm calling a SubForm.

A SubForm is part of a Form that is conditionally visible.

It is always rendered, but a trigger (typically a checkbox) makes it
visible or hidden.

Form controls on the client side are only validated if visible.
Actually, "deep visible", meaning that they are visible and that their
containers are recursively visible.

On submission, a hidden field for each SubForm tracks its deep visibility.

On the server side, the form submission for components enclosed by the
SubForm only occurs when the SubForm is visible on the client side.
If the SubForm is invisible, then no form processing for those
components occur.

It's all working pretty nicely, but I'm not sure "SubForm" is the right name.

Other idea:

- Section
- FormSection
- FormConditional
- ???

I'll be committing changes later this afternoon so nows a great time
to get the naming right.


FormFragment ?

I'm looking forward to playing with the changes regardless of what you decide to call it ;)


I'd give it a meaningful and still natural sounding name. It's a bit longer but I think "ConditionalForm(Section|Part|Fragment)" would be ideal.
