That's right. 

document.anycollectionname["objectname"] should work.

document.all, document.forms,

Won't something like 

document.formName['cocoon-action-xxx'] work? :-?


IIRC, javascript had syntax like this...

RE: Invoking Cocoon actions via JavaScript

[Matthew Hailstone]

An interesting twist to utilizing javascript is a new product called
WebFace from Vultus. It is server independent, and uses XML, SOAP, and
javascript to present an incredible client interface. Cocoon actions and
xslt in the sitemap transforming logic to WebFace's xml structures could
be powerful. Downside is is does cost a little, but not bad compared to
other web IDE's. www.vultus.com

RE: Invoking Cocoon actions via JavaScript

[Robert Koberg]

Hi,

You could loop over the form's element array, use a switch statement and use the
name string as a case match to set up your action input element objs in some
kind of body onload init function.

var action_xxx;
var action_yyy;
var elems = frmObj.elements;

Invoking Cocoon actions via JavaScript

[Hunsberger, Peter]

One of our developers has run into an issue that I can't see an easy
solution to.  However, I also can't believe that no one else has run into
the problem.

We have a form where we are using IE 5.5 (and above) DHTML to enable drop
and drag editing to reorder fields.  As the result of a drop, we determine
some positional values, place these values into the form and then attempt to
submit the form to the server where the values will be placed in a database.
In order to submit the form, the JavaScript code has to invoke the proper
HTML action for the form, which is named using the Cocoon standard
"cocoon-action-" format.  Since JavaScript attempts to resolve the
action name as an JavaScript object it eventually turns a string of this
format into three object names separated by  two minus signs and
subsequently blows up trying to subtract non-existent JavaScript objects
from each other.

One obvious fix would be to change Cocoon to not use "-" in the action
names. Given that this would break just about every Cocoon implementation in
the world I'm hoping that someone has run into this before and found a work
around on the JavaScript side of the world?
