You can retrieve values from legacy forms using the S.param function. In order to ensure that the appropriate session data is transmitted, I would convert the key bits of your legacy HTML into templates. IMO, you might be better off just converting the rest of the way to Lift and use the bind function to tie your form values to lift variables, you also gain security from replay and xss attacks, because the field names are randomized. You can still use your custom validators, you will just have to specify that the jsCmds call your validators. (It is easy to call legacy functions by name via lift js, it's just rather difficult to do the opposite, because the lift generated function names are random strings) See http://wiki.liftweb.net/index.php/Hello_Darwin#add_form for a brief comparison between the two options. Hope that helps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group. To post to this group, send email to lift...@googlegroups.com.
