Re: Processing checkboxes from a form via flowscript

[Baptiste Placé]

Derek,

form.getChild("textbox").getValue(); will return a String, checkboxes return 
boolean values.
I process these in java with explicit casting.
In JS you could do something like :

var bool;
bool = formData.get("checkbox");


Nothing tricky here :)

Thanks for this helpful info. Do you have a snippet of Javascript code

whereby you process the values returned from the form; something
like:
form.getChild("textbox").getValue();

Thanks

Derek

Hi Derek,

In my flowscript, I use following code to store form values in a HashMap :

function fill_formData(){
    formData = new java.util.HashMap();
    formData.put("typeNode", form.getChild("SO_ST_selection").getValue());
    formData.put("tyappli", form.getChild("procedure_type").getValue());
    formData.put("level1", form.getChild("Level1").getValue());
    formData.put("level2", form.getChild("Level2").getValue() );
    formData.put("textbox", form.getChild("textbox").getValue());
}

My form consist of two selection lists, two checkboxes (level 1 and 2) and a textbox. I test the value in Java but you may do it in flowscript (although I would not do that :) )

My checkboxes are boolean fields, it contains standard true/false values.

You may use the API for more information :

http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/apidocs/org/apache/cocoon/forms/flow/java/FormInstance.html and http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/apidocs/org/apache/cocoon/forms/formmodel/Widget.html Widget methods like getId and getFullName exist.

Hope this will help.

Cocoon 2.1.8

I'm using flowscript to create a form, that consists of variable

number
of checkboxes:

var theForm = new Form("cocoon:/myform-create.xml"); theForm.showForm("rep/myform-display"); var nmodel = theForm.getModel();

    var theValues = Array();

Now I need to process all the checkboxes and do the following:

* test if the ID matches a certain pattern AND checkbox is checked
* extract the value of the checkbox name
* store the result in the "theValues" array

I'd appreciate any pointers to sample code on how to do this.

Thanks
Derek
