Can a single component update more than one target?
I want to click on a link and have it update two targets at once, is this
possible?
The single-target cookbook is relatively simple:
views/default/index.load:
<span id="archive_op_fix"></span>
{{=A(('fix
it'),_href=URL(c='archive',f='op',args='fix'),cid='archive_op_fix')}}
<div id="archive_op_fix_result"></div>
views/default/index.html:
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{=LOAD(c='default',f='index.load',target='fix_it',ajax=True)}}
controllers/archive.py:
def op_archive(op):
return False, 'Thumbs up'
#return True, 'Thumbs down'
def op():
status = ''
if request.args:
status = SPAN('')
op = request.args(-1)
error, message = op_archive(op=op)
if error:
status['_class'] = 'icon icon-thumbs-down'
else:
status['_class'] = 'icon icon-thumbs-up'
return dict(status=status)
Now, by virtue of the *cid=* named argument in index.load, when I click the
'fix it' link a thumbs-up icon is inserted to the left of the link. Or a
thumbs-down icon by changing op_archive in archive.py.
But how can I *also* get the bottom div #archive_op_fix_result to display
the second value (message) that op_archive() returns when I click the link?
This would be updating two targets through a single component, something
that the cid parameter can't do, can it? What alternative options do I have?
TIA
