New RML tags added, in CVS

2002-04-13T16:21:47Z

Hello everyone. I am prooud to announce that two new RML tags have been
added to help working with HTML forms.

The first tag is the <yesno> tag. This tag allows for the easy creation
of Yes/No option choices. The tag not only generates a set of input
tags, but also allows for the value of that tag to come from a request
parameter, a database field or an object property. It will also allow
for the value to allways come from a parameter first when it should be
comming from a db or property. This makes form processesing much easier
as there is no need to manually check or load form values. for
instance, the following tag:

<$ x=0; $>
<yesno name="= \"yesnodb\" + x " srcType="db" paramFirst="true"
>yesno.val</yesno>

with no request parameter named "yesnodb0" and a value of "true" for
yesno.val will generate :

<input type="radio" name="yesnodb0" value="true" CHECKED> Yes <input
type="radio" name="yesnodb0" value="false"> No

and with a request parameter named "yesnodb0" set to "false" and a value
of "true" for yesno.val will generate :

<input type="radio" name="yesnodb0" value="true" > Yes <input
type="radio" name="yesnodb0" value="false" CHECKED> No

As you can see, this is the first set towordsmaking form handling a two
page process, one for entering information and one for handling it. If
there is an error, the request can simply be forwarded back to the entry
page with all the entered data intact.

The second tag is alonf the same lines, but is more gener purpose. THis
tag is the <formInput> tag. It acts like <yesno>, except that it allows
for the generation of any input type -
text,password,checkbox,radio,hidden and textarea - all with the same
type of functionality of <yesno>.
