Hope someone can help, basically I am new to Embperl. To explain what I am doing, on a single HTML page there are multiple forms (each form consisting of a different name), however each of the forms (and data within) is inside a sub page called with a Execute. The problem is that the forms post to the same page - updating some of the details, however in each of the forms (can be up to 4) each has a select called location_id, now when the page is re-copiles with the new data - the original posted form and its select (location_id), automatically gets selected (from %idat), however as the other forms also have the same field name (even though in a different forms namespace), I cannot set the other forms to selected, even if I manually have a variable
[- $select = 'SELECTED' -]
<SELECT name="location_id"><option value="test" [+ $selected +]>TEST</option></SELECT>
It still does not select, I have tried to delete the location_id from %idat, but still doesnt help !!!
Any ideas please ?
The magic is in %fdat, set the $fdat{} to the desired value and it should work.
You can also disable the html input processing on this page using one of Embperl options that I don't remember exactly now but I think it is "optDisableHtmlScan" (consult the manual).
Anyway this can be tricky since the POSTED data has no information about forms namespace and the values will get overlapped.
This kind of complex layout require javascript to work properly.
