Wicketeers,
I'm using the TabbedPanel component in a
Wicket 1.1.1 application. Works great in a read-only view mode of my
data, but using the TabbedPanel to present a create/edit form for my data is
proving to be a bit problematic. One big issue I'm having is that the
validators of my form components are only firing for the components that are
part of the "currently selected" tab panel. The reason is because the
TabbedPanel only renders the content of the selected tab, instead of doing
some show/hide magic with all the tabbed panels.
Markup for my page looks basically
like:
<form
wicket:id="form>
<input wicket:id="save"
type="image" src="" border="0" hspace="6"
/>
<input wicket:id="cancel" type="image"
src="" border="0" value="Cancel" hspace="6"
/>
<span wicket:id="tabs"
class="tabpanel">[tabbed panel will be
here]</span>
</form>
As you can see, the TabbedPanel is
inside a single form. I need validations to fire on all the
component in all the tab panels, not just the rendered panel. My plan
is to extend/modify/evolve the TabbedPanel component to (something like a
TabbedFormPanel component) that effectively employs some show/hide
magic so that all the panels are available in the form for
validation.
Does this sound like the right approach,
or am I missing something that would be simpler but accomplish the same
thing...
Thanks in
advance,
