How to See if a Button Goes To the Server

[eugenebalt <eu...@yahoo.com>]

I appreciate the help so far. 

A somewhat unusual question: We need a way to identify all Buttons which
don't go to the server for anything. Is there a way to identify these
"client-side-only" Buttons?

As an example, we have a Wicket Button constructed the usual way in our
form, but its only action is to erase all fields on the form via JavaScript
(it's a "Reset" button, has an onClick JS action). It doesn't go to the
server and its activity is exclusively client-side.

How can we check for these buttons in our code? Is it the fact that they
don't override an onSubmit()?

Hi,

I think there is several ways to achieve that. You can, for instance, have
your own StaticButton class that extends button, then by using
#visitChildren(StaticButton.class) you get these back.
A warning however, not overriding onSubmit does not prevent the button (if
it's of type submit) to post the form to the server. Be sure your button is
of type "button".

Regards,
Sebastien.
