Thanks. I just tried this, and it seem something is not correct. Here's a form field genrated by CRUDify: <input name="f00000000010000000_a0f86e3b78187b55b8628a66fb3371113ddc295c" type="text" maxlength="2" value="DK" lift:field_name="vehicle:country" /> Firefox 3.5 complains about lift:field attribute. Looking at the changes (and the example above) it seems that the field name is still some psuedo random number. While this is better than names changing between each request, I'm wondering if it's stable to reordering & removing fields (my guess is no). It would be nice not to change test cases just because we rearrange the form layout. Moving forward, I'm not sure what the best solution is. I seem able to specify the id attribute for forms that I create manually, but need this also on CRUDify and other generated forms (and looking at the above example, it seems it should be easy to eg. use the field_name). In general, It would be nice for Lift to handle all this automatically (as you've already started out to do), but if I have to add some additional markup to make sure ids/names stay stable, I will prefer that over test cases breaking if field ordering is changed..... /Jeppe --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
