[web2py] Re: LOAD form deferred by jQuery UI tabs -- how to?
Thanks guys. I got it working with web2py_component. What an amazing resource! This ajax stuff is actually getting approachable to javascript novices like me. The final user interface has tabs that select different forms, and on one of the tabs an accordion that exposes multiple forms. It's all demand-loaded and works perfectly with the submit button and response.flash stuff. And I'm only missing a modest amount of hair from pulling out it out doing javascript debugging! -- Joe On Saturday, December 1, 2012 7:24:15 AM UTC-8, Anthony wrote: The LOAD helper simply generates HTML like the following: script type=text/javascript!-- web2py_component(/test/comment/post.load,c282718984176) //--/scriptdiv id=c282718984176loading.../div So, a div with a particular id is created, and the web2py_component() Javascript function (defined in /static/js/web2py.js) is called with the id of that div. Instead of using the LOAD helper, you can manually create a div and set up an event handler that calls web2py_component() when the tab is clicked.

Both jQuery UI and the web2py LOAD features work perfectly alone. I can even use the LOAD function with jQuery tabs as long as I don't try to use the beforeLoad event to load the form. I just can't figure out the javascript secret sauce to get them to play together. I'm really impressed by the power of the web2py LOAD function. The contributor really knew what he was doing! If I can just understand its underpinnings a little better I can use it for more than the simple case in the book. --

load calls web2py_component(), that is defined in web2py_ajax.js . Look at that if you're looking to an integration with your code.

The LOAD helper simply generates HTML like the following: script type=text/javascript!-- web2py_component(/test/comment/post.load,c282718984176) //--/scriptdiv id=c282718984176loading.../div So, a div with a particular id is created, and the web2py_component() Javascript function (defined in /static/js/web2py.js) is called with the id of that div.
