Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Lenya Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by EricCaron: http://wiki.apache.org/lenya/HowToCFormsInLenya ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Of course you could use plain HTML forms in Lenya. But this doesn't meet todays requirements for a well done website anymore. If you are using plain HTML forms, you are entirely on your own, especially regarding: * Validation and data type handling: HTML only knows a text input widget. It does not provide any means to make sure that in a date field for example there is a valid date entered. Of course you can parse whatever input you get back from your HTML form and implement your own error handling, but this is exactly what has been done by the CForms developers already. - * Advanved Widgets: CForms has some advanced features for really nice looking and nicely working forms available that you can use. They are all based on standards not not at all browser specific. See the Forms block examples in Cocoon. Sooner or later you would want to have this to make you site state of the art. + * Advanved Widgets: CForms has some advanced features for really nice looking and nicely working forms available that you can use.
