Guo,
I agree that having ScreenWidgets easily use ajax is a good goal and I don't
see any problem with moving ahead on that front. But I think there is much
more that can be done with the DHTML capabilities of Dojo, but I am not sure
I know what they all are. I would like to ask for help from the community in
suggesting ways in which a rich client could improve OFBiz. I will start a
list.
1. Type ahead.
2. Show detail data upon rollover.
3. Popups that don't get hidden.
4. Rich text editor.
5. Tab, accordian and other containers.
6. Better drill down techniques using embedded containers and/or trees.
7.???
These are the kind of things that I think need to be automated with a widget
system.
Also, here is a snippet of code that I used to upload a file via Dojo. It
would not be needed to send standard form types, but I am not sure that it
would hurt or not be a good idea to use this iframe method for all postings.
function sendImage(){
var formId = "editimageForm";
dojo.io.iframe.send({
form: dojo.byId(formId),
handleAs: "json",
content: {
increment: callCount++,
fileFields: "uploadedFile"
},
load: function(response, ioArgs){
var contentDataControl = dijit.byId
('contentdatadetail');
contentDataControl.setContent("<img
src='/content/control/ViewSimpleContent?dataResourceId=" +
response.dataResourceId + "'/>");
var dialogObj = dijit.byId
("editimageDialog");
dialogObj.hide();
},
handle: function(response, ioArgs){
}
});
}
Also, see the DojoJSONServiceEventHandler class that I wrote to work with
form of Dojo ajax.
