Re: using SubmitLink button without a form

[Alex Jacoby]

Solved: Just using a normal Link with its onClick instead.  No need  
for onSubmit.

Still, should the SubmitLink be fixed or have its javadocs updated, or  
am I missing something?

Thanks,
Alex

I would like to use a SubmitLink button without a form, but it looks  
like the code for form-less SubmitLink only handles the case when  
it's attached to an anchor tag, and not when it's attached to a  
button input.

From SubmitLink.java:
// Here it properly sets the href tag in the case of an anchor, and  
calls getTriggerJavaScript for other cases...
        protected void onComponentTag(ComponentTag tag)
        {
                // [snip]
                        if (tag.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("a"))
                        {
                                tag.put("href", "#");
                        }
                        tag.put("onclick", getTriggerJavaScript());
                }
        }

// ... but getTriggerJavaScript returns null if there's no form
        protected final String getTriggerJavaScript()
        {
                if (getForm() != null)
                {
                        // [Does a lot of stuff]
                }
                else
                {
                        return null;
                }
        }

I'm not sure what the javascript should be, but it should be  
possible, right?

Thanks,
Alex
