Are you trying to submit the form from within an ajax event? If so you can simply do: target.appendJavascript(getForm().getMarkupId()+".submit()");//get the markupId for the form and append javascript to submit it
In any case, it seems like form.submit() might do what you are looking for? -Clay -----Original Message----- From: Ryan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 1:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Creating a form submit listener using IBehavior All, I have a use case where I would like to submit a form via javascript and have wicket map this submission back to a java onSubmit method (using wicket 1.3-rc1). On the surface this is very similar to adding a SubmitLink, hiding the submit link markup elements, then using a javascript function to trigger the onclick handler for that SubmitLink. This approach works however I would like to find a more elegant solution.. Something that can be added to any form and not require changes to that form or its markup. Adding a hidden link seems hackish. This lead me to my first attempt which was to create a behavior that is added to the form that emulate's SubmitLink.getTriggerJavascript and render that javascript into a function. This doesn't look like it will work out because getTriggerJavascript uses a package private method Form.getHiddenFieldId() and also relies on the fact that the SubmitLink itself is a component within the Form (I am trying to create a behavior). My second attempt was to make use of Form.getJsForInterfaceUrl(interfaceUrl) passing in a url generated using form.urlFor(behavior, IBehaviorListener.INTERFACE). I could then use my behavior to add a javascript function that executes the javascript from Form.getJsForInterfaceUrl(interfaceUrl). This is not working for two reasons: 1) Form.getTriggerJavascript (line 1045 in wicket 1.3-rc1) requires the request target to be an instance of ListenerInterfaceRequestTarget ( IBehaviorListener.INSTANCE is creating a BehaviorRequestTarget). 2) requestTarget.getTarget() is returning the form instead of my behavior, so even if Form.getTriggerJavascript accepted BehaviorRequestTarget it would not execute my behavior. Clearly I am missing something about hooking into the submit process for a form. Could someone that has a better understanding of this area of wicket point me in the right direction?
