JavaScript

[sa...@women-at-work.org]

What would be the quickest way to get a javascript within a html template
working? The rendered html page contains $TextArea for the single textarea
field within that particular page. So if I use $TextArea would the
javascript pick it up or get muddled up because of the $ sign ?

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">

<!--


function check(form) {
        leng=form.$TextArea.value.length;
        if (leng>800) {
form.$TextArea.value=form.$TextArea.value.substring(0,800); remain=0; 
                      } 

                else  { remain=800-leng;
                      }
        form.leng.value=remain;
}


-->
</SCRIPT>

The form element names generated by tapestry should
not be copied into the javascript like that. Because you
don't control them. Some form components allow us to
specify an html id attribute, others don't. In the latter
case i see no way than to ask the component for its
name.

(AbstractFormComponent) formComp.getName()

using a Map we can now pass the name via the
symbols attribute to the Script

form.${componentName}.value
