[Lift] Re: ajaxForm with mapped function

2009-08-12 Thread jon 

Thanks Dave,

I explored both of those routes.  The hidden field would allow me to
execute on the server, but not send back JS to execute on the client.
The ajaxButton would allow me to execute code on the client, but not
submit the form (unless I put the form serialize code in the
button?).  I wanted the JS code to vary depending on input from the
whole form submission.

  Is there a better way?

 You could use an ajaxButton to update the div... alternatively, put an
 SHtml.hidden field in the form itself.

   jsonForms seemed like a bit of overkill to do
  what i wanted= simple update of div after submit.

Try it... you'll be surprised.

If you have a SHtml.hidden() that returns a JsCmd, that JsCmd will be sent
to the browser.

[Lift] Re: ajaxForm with mapped function

2009-08-12 Thread jon 

That is surprising...

revised function:

  def ajaxForm(body: NodeSeq,func: ()=JsCmd) = {
  SHtml.ajaxForm(body ++ SHtml.hidden(func))
  }

very cool!

thanks,

- jon
