Forms question

[Amit Shinde <am...@amicontech.com>]

Hello,
	I am using a form to display a list of items in a data grid. All items
under "Name" column in the grid are supposed to be a hyperlink. We need
different hyperlinks for each row depending on the type. Is there an if-else
ability in forms?

	Currently it is this way -

	<form type="list" name="products" list-name="productList"
default-title-style="tableheadtext" default-tooltip-style="tabletext"
		default-widget-style="table" paginate-target="ListProducts">

		<field name="productName" title="Name"
header-link="ListProducts?orderByField=productName&amp;productTypeId=OTHERS"
>
			<hyperlink  description="${productName}"
target="EditProduct?productId=${productId}"/>
		</field>

	</form>


	Can we have something like this -

	<form type="list" name="products" list-name="productList"
default-title-style="tableheadtext" default-tooltip-style="tabletext"
		default-widget-style="table" paginate-target="ListProducts">

		<field name="productName" title="Name"
header-link="ListProducts?orderByField=productName&amp;productTypeId=OTHERS"
>
			<if some condition>
				<hyperlink  description="${productName}"
target="EditProduct?productId=${productId}"/>
			<else>
				<hyperlink  description="${productName}"
target="EditPrototype?productId=${productId}"/>
			</else>
			</if>
		</field>

	</form>

	Any pointers will be appreciated.


Thanks,

there's a "use-when" attribute for fields.  There are
plenty of examples throughout the code.  otherwise you
can do a <row-action element to set variables so that
both cases can be written the same way.
