It's not that it has any use outside view/controller but it's also still just the model data in a different format. As to why to put it in the model rather than the view/controller/viewhints is more pragmatic as you don't have to add a private declaration or count on a specific variable to be set. Perhaps he'll have this editor in a card, with multiple cards on a page.
Why does it have different options? Don't know. Might've been an oversight when one or other set of tags was redesigned. Probably something related to point two below. Getting the update to work would guess that it's not fully implemented yet. http://cookbook.hobocentral.net/api_taglibs/rapid_editing "This area of Hobo has had less attention that the non-ajax forms of late, so it’s lagging a little. There may be some rough edges. For example, the tags in this library do not (yet!) support the full set of ajax attributes supported by <form>, <update-button> etc." On Sep 11, 7:09 am, Henry Baragar <[email protected]> wrote: > On September 10, 2010 04:05:32 pm kevinpfromnm wrote: > > > You could also move this to the model since it's not really view code > > and then you don't have to make it depend on the choice of instance > > variable. > > I am a little bit confused.
