Hi,
currently, when a form in the admin has collapsed fieldsets, those
fieldsets are expanded on submit. As I find this rather distracting
and couldn't find an explanation why this should be desired behavior,
I suspected that this is probably a hard to find bug somewhere in
between CSS, HTML and Django's JavaScript code.
When I finally took a look at the code, I was quite surprised that
this isn't a bug, but a feature:
> if (collapsed_seen) {
> // Expand all collapsed fieldsets when form is submitted.
> addEvent(findForm(document.getElementsByTagName('fieldset')[0]),
> 'submit', function() { CollapsedFieldsets.uncollapse_all(); });
> }
This code is in the admin since revision 96 [1]. But why? From a
technical view, both the client and the server couldn't care less if
the form fields are visible or not, they process them all the same.
Was it UI-motivated?
I, for one, find it quite disturbing that input fields appear all over
the place when I click submit, just to vanish moments later to be
replaced by a new page :)
Regards,
Benjamin
