I love the Form.request method. But in pursuit of Javascript-fu,
I've come up with an interesting (to me) idea. I often have a
situation where I'm hijacking a set of forms on a page, like anything
with the class 'new', and performing an Ajax request on the form.
Usually I would also use several of the callbacks, but here's a
trivial example that disables the form during the request.
$$('form.new').each(function(form) {
form.observe('submit', function(event) {
form.request({evalScripts: true,
onLoading:function() { form.disable(); },
onComplete:function() { form.enable(); }
});
}
});
But there are usually some forms where I want to do a little more.
For example, for a form that is hidden by default, I want to hide it
again after the form is submitted. What would be really cool is to
be able to register "observers" on the form's Ajax object:
$$('form.hidden').each(function(form) {
form.request.observe('success', function() {
new Effect.BlindUp(form);
});
});
What does everyone think of this idea? I haven't thought about the
implementation all all, so the given syntax probably wouldn't work,
but you get the idea.
Thanks,
Brandon
