Hi,
<< This time I'm posting in plain text, which should work better! >>
A few months ago I asked for some advice about invoking JavaScript to
handle form submission. I'd like to restate the problem I
encountered, share my work-around, and ask again for input. I wanted
to pass the instance data (serialized as xml) to a JavaScript
function, and let it handle the submission from there. The problem I
encountered is that I could only use the 'get' submission method with
JavaScript, and with 'get' the instance data would be URL-encoded and
appended to the 'action', which is a problem if the action is
'javascript:submit(ser);'.
Looking at xsltforms.js, the line in
XsltForms_submission.prototype.submit that invokes JS is this one:
eval("ser = (" + action.substr(11) + ");");
So my work-around is to make the garbage appended to the action
harmless by making it a comment:
<xf:submission
id='submit'
method='get'
relevant='true'
replace='instance'
serialization='application/xml'
action='javascript:submit(ser));//'
/>
The line of JS eval'd might be something like:
ser = (submit(ser));//?var1=val1&var2=val2...
Would it be OK to change the code so it never appends URL-encoded
instance data to an action that starts with 'javascript:' ?
Also, can XSLTForms co-exist with jQuery now? Currently I put my
forms into iframes, which is mostly OK, but it would be nice in future
to have everything in one integrated page.
Thanks very much!
