tabbedpanel (and ajaxtabbedpanel) only submit the selected tab. A mode which instead submits all loaded tabs would be helpful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WICKET-2579 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-2579 Project: Wicket Issue Type: Wish Components: wicket-extensions Affects Versions: 1.4.3 Reporter: Roger Armstrong If I want to split the contents of a form across multiple tabs (for example a user profile form split into basic and advanced settings), there seems to be no way to validate the form properly. The user should be able to fill out, say, first name and last name in the basic tab, then switch to the advanced tab and fill out some settings there, then click the Save button. If the user forgot to fill out a required field on the basic, (say, email address), there's no way to handle this (because the first tab is already gone when you switch to the second tab). I've tried to use an AjaxFormValidatingBehavior on blur of all form components, but this is not a good solution since validation occurs on lost focus instead of when the user clicks the Save button. What I would like would be that the TabbedPanel keeps all visited panels around (but all hidden except the selected tab) so that they are all submitted together. That way, you have lazy loading, but standard submit and validate behavior (at the expense of keeping the loaded panels around). This seems like a fairly standard pattern for using a tabbed panel, so it would seem useful to have it in the "standard" tab panel instead of everyone having to reinvent it (like at http://www.xaloon.org/blog/advanced-wicket-tabs-with-jquery). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
