Re: CForms - different views of the same widget

[Derek Hohls]

Phillip   This is not really the same problem; what you seem to be describing is a fairly standard use case for CForms.  The idea of the bean is to be the "data storage" and (possibly) "post data entry logic processing". The form definition itself will contain the validation specifications as to whether or not a field is required, and what label to append to it. I assume one could store all this info in a single file and then write custom code to pull it out again & create the  form definition ... but this somewhat goes against the basic Cocoon premise of "separation of concerns".   Derek >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005/11/08 12:01:07 AM >>> Hi, I have a similar problem.

Is there a way to achieve this with _javascript_ or a fb:custom binding? I have a bean that looks like this: class RepeaterRow { boolean required; String label; String data; [...] } Now I'm trying to figure out how I can bind "required" and "label" to my widget. What's the *right* way to do this or is this not possible with cforms? > That's exactly what I was about to propose: changing the widget's state > on value change is what you're looking for! This doesn't make sure that the user fills in some data :-( Philipp --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- This message is subject to the CSIR's copyright, terms and conditions and e-mail legal notice.
