Hi
Sorry to keep replying to my own mails, but I just tried a similar test on
the Car Selector example in the cocoon form samples.
This uses submit-on-change using a number of selection lists. All I did
was add a text box at the bottom.
I made some selections (each one causing the form submit event to fire)
then put
some text into my test text field and submitted.
- Went back in the browser and refreshed to make sure it was recalled - it
was.
- I then changed the text and re-submitted.
- Went back in the browser again and refreshed again, this time the old
value (i.e. not my new one) came back.
Is this a problem with continuations then, as I notice if the submit on
change isn't used, data seems to recall fine.
Is there anyway around this, or am I going to have to bind the form using
a javabean to allow users to recall the data correctly?
Thanks again
Duncan
