Folks,
Do I really NEED to have a form with my <select> components ?
I know its unorthadox... but I would like to skip the form if possible to keep this
lightweight and just use onchange="this.form.submit()" when it gets selected.
For that concrete question:
ask yourself, why you need a form to call "this.form..."...
Probably many of you (who ask questions on the Tapestry list) should
learn a little bit basics about html and javascript, too. It's not
enough to write java code, you should understand what the template code
does, too.
Your question about select isn't a tapestry issue or question, it's a
basic html issue; well... if you want, call it a slightly sophisticated
html issue, but that's it.
If you're not sure how it works server side, first make sure which
client side html code is generated (e.g. using Firebug), and work out,
if and how communication with your server side tapestry application works.
You will find, that this.form.submit() would trigger a builtin
javascript function on a form element, but that form element doesn't
exist, because it has to be an ancestor of your select - and therefore
you would have needed the form element in your template as well.
That's basics, sorry.
Probably Tapestry makes development too easy, if these basics are ignored.

Peter
