Re: Save a form's markup
Hello, Thanks for the links. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the technique shown to render a panel to a string is about asking the wicket component to render itself, then capturing that output as a string. What I need to be able to do is grab a form's markup after it has been interacted with by the user.

Re: Save a form's markup
If I understand, you can override getOnClickScript from Button to return an javascript that set the innerHTML property of your form component as an parameter. Maybe providing an hiding field, and setting it value with: value = document.getElementById(+myForm.getMarkupId()+).innerHTML On Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 9:44 AM, Branden Tanga branden.ta...@gmail.comwrote: Hello, Thanks for the links.

Re: Save a form's markup
Hello, This particular form is dynamic, in that it may be different for each user. As a business rule, I have to be able to build back this exact form as read only in another part of the application. What I was doing originally, was parsing all of the wicket components on the java side, extracting their objectModelAsString and id, and putting those into an xml. Then when I needed to build the form back as read only, I would parse the xml and build back the markup. The other day I had an epiphany and realized, why don't I just store the markup from the original form, it would be much simpler and less prone to errors. The only catch is that I have to get the markup with the user input (checkboxes checked, textboxes with text, etc.). So I need to capture the state of the markup at the moment that the user hits the submit button on the form. To All: As soon as I'm back to my regular desktop I'll work on your suggestions. Thanks!

Re: Save a form's markup
Why don't you just have two pages, one that is the HTML form and submits the data, one that gets the data and displays it back again depending on that data. Saving the markup is a bad IMO, if the original form needs to change, even slightly, you are still using the old markup on the other side. Best to just use the data from that form. cheers, Steve On 03/02/2010, at 11:51 AM, Branden Tanga wrote: Hello, This particular form is dynamic, in that it may be different for each user.
