Some kind soul out there has created a form unserialize method (below)
that I would like to use. Being a newbie I can't figure out how to do
that.
My first kick at the can was
Object.extend(Form.Methods, Form.Methods.unserialize);
and to use it was:
$("form1").unserialize("form1",data)
but that didn't work. I've since tried various permutations and
combinations of this, to no avail.
I did get it to work by simply making it a function, but a method
would be nicer.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you!
/**
* Form#unserialize(@element, source) -> Element
* - @element(FormElement): Form element to fill with values
* - source(Object | String): Source object where field values are
taken from
*
* Fills form with values of a given object `source`.
* Each propertie name of `source` is compared to name attribute of a
form element.
*
* $('myForm').unserialize()
*
**/
Form.Methods.unserialize = function(element, source) {
if (!(element = $(element)))
throw new Error('DOMElement is required');
source = Object.isString(source)
? source.toQueryParams()
: source;
element.getElements().each(function(element) {
for (var name in source) {
if (name == element.name)
element.setValue(source[name]);
}
})
return element;
};
