Hi Massimo,
The form.tcl with the new autogeneration works well for me.
I would:
- Name the whole feature "autoid"
- Name the option "-autoidprefix" (prefix is to global IMHO)
- have the "_" in the prefix:
${autoid_prefix}[incr auto_cnt]
default for variable 'autoid_prefix' is 'autogen_'
instead
> ${prefix}_[incr auto_cnt]
> default for variable 'prefix' is 'autogen'
to give custom settings more flexibility.

I am still against calling it form2.tcl.
Change summary to the user:
1) Bugfix of:treat default sometimes as value, sometimes as list
In consequence, package may crash by special user input
Authors of changes: Massimo, Harald
- use __$name indexes to indicate lists in default values
- extend the (so far undocumented but exported) method default_value
by a -list option to get and set parameters in list style
- extend "select" method to detect -multi 1 option and to use list style
default.
Possible incompatiblilities:
this code does not work any more:
set response(radio1) [var list radio1]
set response(checkbox1) [var list checkbox1]
form my_form -default response
my_form start
my_form radio radio1 -value "v 1" -label "l 1"
my_form checkbox checkbox1 -value "v 1" -label "l 1"
my_form end
as the "__name" indexes are missing.
This works now and is not vulnerable for attacks like "t.rvt?radio1=%7B"
(crash) or "t.rvt?radio1=v%201" (no detection) any more:
load_response
form my_form -default response
my_form start
my_form radio radio1 -value "v 1" -label "l 1"
my_form checkbox checkbox1 -value "v 1" -label "l 1"
my_form end
this didn't work before and works now:
load_response
form my_form -default response
my_form start
my_form select select1 -multiple 1 -values {"v 1" "v 2"}
my_form end
The first example must now be written as:
form my_form -default response
my_form default_value radio1 -list [var list radio1]
my_form default_value checkbox1 -list [var list checkbox1]
my_form start
my_form radio radio1 -value "v 1" -label "l 1"
my_form checkbox checkbox1 -value "v 1" -label "l 1"
my_form end
or as:
set response(radio1) [var list radio1]
set response(__radio1) ""
...
2) Bugfix/new method: checkboxes
Author of changes: Harald
The method "checkbox" docs stated, that it support the parameters
"-values" and "-labels". This was wrong.
In consequence, I added the method "checkboxes, which have those
parameters and which is similar to the methods radiobuttons/radio
It might be discussed if this is a bug-fix or a new feature.
Anyway, it is useful and does not harm anybody.
3) Bugfix/new function: Reference the option id in the label and
autogenerate an id if there is no id given (method checkbox/radiobutton)
Authors: Jeff, Damon, Massimo
There is a new option "-autoidprefix".
IMHO this is a new good harmless feature.
No incompatibilities introduced.
---
Looking to the changed issues, there is IMHO nothing justifying a new
form2.tcl package.
Most parts are bugfixes which must anyway be included in form.tcl. Or do
we just catch the "lsearch" and live with the status quo ?
Also, two packages must be:
- documented
- maintained !!!!!!
in future releases separately (IMHO the strongest argument, we have
other things to do)
I would prefer that others would test the new package and tell, if they
could live with that.
My much to long two pennies....
Harald
