I am probably confused on what exactly is going on in the request / response cycle here, but I am trying to show a table cell after a calculation is performed, and I can't seem to get the js to run. The JS is being called in the showResults method that is bound to the submit action. I am guessing that the submit action is reloading the page, so there is no opportunity to run the js. Any suggestions on how I should be doing this instead? I am learning lift, and I am working on an app that needs to be completely stateless (no db backend, no cookies, no session).
I have the following for my page: <lift:surround with="default" at="content"> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td> <lift:mortality.calcForm form="POST" id="mortalityForm"> Age: <f:age><input type="text"/></f:age><br/> Male: <f:male><input type="text"/></f:male><br/> <f:submit><input type="submit" value="calculate"/></f:submit> </lift:mortality.calcForm> </td> <td id="mortalityResult" style="display:none;" > <lift:mortality.doCalculate> Life Expectancy: <r:le>50</r:le> </lift:mortality.doCalculate> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </lift:surround> Then in my snippet code I have the following: class Mortality { object ageVar extends RequestVar[Int](S.param("age").map(_.toInt) openOr 0) object maleVar extends RequestVar[Boolean] (S.param("male").map(_.toBoolean) openOr false) var le = "0" def calculateLifeExp = { val calcLE = Annuity2000.lifeExpectancy(ageVar.is, maleVar.is) le = String.format("%.2f",double2Double(calcLE)) } def doCalculate(xhtml:NodeSeq):NodeSeq = { calculateLifeExp Helpers.bind("r", xhtml, "le" -> le.toString ) } def showResults():JsCmd = { JsCmds.Run("$('#mortalityResult').show();alert('I ran')") } def calcForm(xhtml:NodeSeq):NodeSeq = { Helpers.bind("f", xhtml, "age" -> SHtml.text(ageVar.is.toString, v => ageVar(v.toInt)), "male" -> SHtml.text(maleVar.is.toString, v => maleVar(v.toBoolean)), "submit" -> SHtml.submit("Calculate", showResults), "le" -> le.toString ) } } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
