Which way to go? AjaxSubmitLink or AjaxLink? Neither does the job
for me :)
Hi,
I have a form where some of the components have validators (Required, EmailValidator etc). The form uses CompoundPropertyModel for my
object. Upon entering some text in one input field and clicking a button, a ModalWindow opens and shows a searchresult based on the input.
The button is a AjaxSubmitLink. The problem is that this operation is performed BEFORE the rest of the form is filled out, so validation
fails (since lots of fields are missing input at this stage), and the ModalWindow doesn't open. If I turn off validation everything is good,
but I need the validation for when the form is complete and finally submitted :)
If I change to an AjaxLink, I can get the ModalWindow to open, but then the input data isn't propagated to the model, so I can't get hold of
it in the ModalWindow. I have also tried overriding getDefaultFormProcessing() and returning false, but then obviously the model isn't
updated either, so I'm stuck.
Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way.. Any suggestions? Should I use another form without validation just for this one textfield?
Sincerely,
Edvin Syse

Thanks, that's a good option :) I went with rearranging the layout and
using two forms, but I think a getDefaultFormValidation() method would
be a nice addition to the framework :)

Another option is to attach onchange handlers to all components (with an
ajax behavior).
You can optionally do validation in the handler and contineously show
validation errors as the user leaves an input field.

Erik.

Beause of the layout that would mean nesting two forms, and I'm not sure
how that works out in different browsers. I might have to go that way,
but wouldn't it be nice/possible to skip validation but still bind the
model object changes with getDefaultFormValidation() == false or
something like that?
