[Lift] json form and checkboxes
Hi i tried the json form tutorial (HowTo_use_JSON_forms) and everything was ok until i put some checkboxes ... the thing is that no matter how many of them i check only one is being send to the server. example lift:JSONForm.show input type=text name=name / br / input type=text name=value / br / input type=radio name=vehicle value=Bike / input type=radio name=vehicle value=Car / input type=radio name=vehicle value=Airplane / br / select name=cars option value=volvoVolvo/option option value=saabSaab/option option value=opelOpel/option option value=audiAudi/option /select br / Soccer: input type=checkbox name=sports value=soccer / br / Football: input type=checkbox name=sports value=football / br / Baseball: input type=checkbox name=sports value=baseball / br / Basketball: input type=checkbox name=sports value=basketball / button type=submitSubmit/button /lift:JSONForm.show apparently it has to do with the way the formToJSON function creates the object im using 1.1-snapshot -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Lift group.

Re: [Lift] json form and checkboxes
Use the SHtml.checkbox to generate your checkboxes: From the ExploringLift book: The checkbox method generates a checkbox form element, taking an initial Boolean value as well as a function ( Boolean) = Any that is called when the checkbox is submitted. If you've done a lot of HTML form processing you might wonder how this actually occurs, since an unchecked checkbox is not actually submitted as part of a form. Lift works around this by adding a hidden form element for each checkbox with the same element name, but with a false value, to ensure that the callback function is always called. -- John Goodsen RADSoft / Better Software Faster jgood...@radsoft.comLean/Agile/XP/Scrum Coaching and Training http://www.radsoft.com Ruby/Rails, Scala/Lift and Java Solutions On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 4:33 PM, edgarchan edgarchancarri...@gmail.comwrote: Hi i tried the json form tutorial (HowTo_use_JSON_forms) and everything was ok until i put some checkboxes ... the thing is that no matter how many of them i check only one is being send to the server. example lift:JSONForm.show input type=text name=name / br / input type=text name=value / br / input type=radio name=vehicle value=Bike / input type=radio name=vehicle value=Car / input type=radio name=vehicle value=Airplane / br / select name=cars option value=volvoVolvo/option option value=saabSaab/option option value=opelOpel/option option value=audiAudi/option /select br / Soccer: input type=checkbox name=sports value=soccer / br / Football: input type=checkbox name=sports value=football / br / Baseball: input type=checkbox name=sports value=baseball / br / Basketball: input type=checkbox name=sports value=basketball / button type=submitSubmit/button /lift:JSONForm.show apparently it has to do with the way the formToJSON function creates the object im using 1.1-snapshot -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Lift group.

Re: [Lift] json form and checkboxes
Yeah... this is a bug in the way we serialize the form. Please open a ticket at http://github.com/dpp/liftweb/issues On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 1:33 PM, edgarchan edgarchancarri...@gmail.comwrote: Hi i tried the json form tutorial (HowTo_use_JSON_forms) and everything was ok until i put some checkboxes ... the thing is that no matter how many of them i check only one is being send to the server. example lift:JSONForm.show input type=text name=name / br / input type=text name=value / br / input type=radio name=vehicle value=Bike / input type=radio name=vehicle value=Car / input type=radio name=vehicle value=Airplane / br / select name=cars option value=volvoVolvo/option option value=saabSaab/option option value=opelOpel/option option value=audiAudi/option /select br / Soccer: input type=checkbox name=sports value=soccer / br / Football: input type=checkbox name=sports value=football / br / Baseball: input type=checkbox name=sports value=baseball / br / Basketball: input type=checkbox name=sports value=basketball / button type=submitSubmit/button /lift:JSONForm.show apparently it has to do with the way the formToJSON function creates the object im using 1.1-snapshot -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Lift group.

[Lift] JSON form with
I think the current implementation of the JSON form is broken.
If you put an in a text field and try to submit it via a JSON form
it doesn't get handled correctly.
To be precise the formToJSON function in jlift.js doesn't work, and
again to be more precise the params method is broken / not fit for
purpose.
The params method (line 249) calls s.join() and then returns but it
doesn't escape the character (it also uses = but doesn't escape
that). If the params function does what I think it is supposed to do
which is split paramters for a URL then it should really call
encodeURI on the values.
That aside I don't think the formToJSON function should be using the
param function. It gets a JSON object from jQuery serializeArray makes
it into a string split by and = then goes and splits based on and
= again building up some JSON (as a string) then parses the JSON. Why
not operate on the JSON from jQuery from the start.
e.g.
formToJSON : function(formId)
{
json = jQuery(# + formId).serializeArray();
ret = {}
for (var i in json)
{
var obj = json[i]
ret[obj.name] = obj.value
}
return ret;
}
This does work differently from before since it won't call functions
like params does but I don't think jQuery's serializeArray puts
functions in the object it returns so that is not needed.
