Hi,
In my application, I have some HTML forms containing lists of checkbox
inputs and multiple select boxes. This results in request URIs featuring
duplicate parameter names:
e.g.:
http://localhost:8888/myapp/processform.htm?par1=val1&par1=val2&par1=val3
If I pass these to my XSLT transformation using <map:parameter
name="use-request-parameters" value="true"/>, only the first value (viz.
"val1") ends up in my XSLT. This is a short sitemap.xmap snippet:
<map:match pattern="processform.htm">
<map:generate src="xml/{1}.xml"/>
<map:transform src="stylesheets/xml2htm/{1}.xsl">
<map:parameter name="use-request-parameters" value="true"/>
</map:transform>
<map:serialize type="xhtml"/>
</map:match>
So far, I worked around this with client-side Javascript that would
aggregate those values for the duplicate parameters into one string, so
that only 1 "par1" parameter is passed through:
e.g.: http://localhost:8888/myapp/processform.htm?par1=val1%20val2%20val3
In revising my app (and bringing it closer to unobtrusive JS practice),
however, I would like to free that vital part of its fuctionality (form
submission) from this client-side Javascript dependency.
My question is: is there a way of aggregating duplicate parameters into
one parameter at sitemap level? The scarce posts I came across on this
list suggest that it *can* be done (e.g.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=113474098814411&w=2),
but not exactly how... At least, I can't see a solution with my current
cocoon knowledge (not much beyond simple pipeline concepts, ie. no
flowscript, actions, XSP...).
I recognize this is not strictly a Cocoon problem (and apologize for
off-topicality), but hope there may be a Cocoon solution?
Thanks for any reaction!
