i changed it to accept path like this:
/mypath/:value1/abc/def/:value2
/mypath/{value1}/abc/def/{value2}
but one thing i dont understand:
instead of:
var reFind = /:\w*|{\w*}/gi;
i can not write it like this:
var reFind = new RegExp(":\w*|{\w*}","gi");
why?
i get in safari (OSX) only ":" as matchresult!?
(function() {
addEventListener("click", function(event)
{
var link = findParent(event.target, "a");
if (link)
{
if (link.getAttribute("type") == "submit_rest")
submitRestForm(findParent(link, "form"));
else
return;
event.preventDefault();
}
}, true);
function submitRestForm(form)
{
iui.showPageByHref(encodeRestForm(form), null, form.method);
}
function encodeRestForm(form)
{
var path = form.action;
var reFind = /:\w*|{\w*}/gi;
var reClean = /[:{}]/gi;
//var reFind = new RegExp(":\w*|{\w*}","gi");
var matches = path.match(reFind);
for(var matchIndex in matches){
var match = matches[matchIndex];
var fieldName = match.replace(reClean,"");
var fieldValue = form.elements[fieldName].value;
path = path.replace(match,encodeURIComponent(fieldValue));
}
return path;
}
function findParent(node, localName)
{
while (node && (node.nodeType != 1 || node.localName.toLowerCase() !
= localName))
node = node.parentNode;
return node;
}
})();
