Theory of operation behind preferences?

[Andrew R Jaquith <an...@gmail.com>]

Dirk,

I'm doing a bunch of work with Stripes, and am slowly upgrading the  
JSPs so that they work better with ActionBeans. It seems that a lot of  
the PreferencesTab.jsp (and other prefs work) relies heavily on  
JavaScript. Could you describe to me, at a high level, how it all works?

Andrew,

On the preferencesTab.jsp there is not so much Javascript.

When you look at jspwiki-prefs.js, only the first part is important:
1) a window.onbeforeunload handler to throw a popup when leave the
page without saving
and
2) the savePrefs routine to save all prefs into the userprefs cookie.

Hope that helps,
dirk
