Strange behaviour of repeater (repeaterrows don't show up in HTML source code) while they are rendered

["Robby Pelssers, AGP" <ro...@agp.nl>]

Hi guys,

I attached my jx file that generates a form where people can register the
number of hours they spent on a certain task.  However, when the form is
rendered I can see the repeaterrows on the browser but NOT in the html
source code.  Anybody who can explain this?


Ps. I must add to this that the repeater is handled by a valuechanged event
of the dimensionwidget.

Cheers,

Robby Pelssers

Hi Jason,

you are right about the fact that I can see the source when I select it
(firefox) and then can see the source of the selected html.  I also
discovered that by coincidence today.  And about that valuechanged event...
it is indeed that when a user selects a dimension, the repeaterrows are
created.

Thx for the answer.... Now I at least know that it is not due to my jx
configuration that i cannot see the source of my repeaterrows.

Cheers,
Robby Pelssers

When you say "the repeater is handled by a valuechanged event" I guess
that means that its rows are not created until the user enters something
into the "dimension" field on the page?

I notice you're using AJAX mode, which could explain why the repeater
rows don't show up when you View Source on the page.  They don't exist
in the original HTML source, they're added after the fact by Javascript.

Firefox has a nice feature where you can select text on the page (with
the mouse or Ctrl-A) and then right-click and choose "View Selection
Source".  It will show you the source of what actually appears on the
page rather than what was originally sent by the server.  I'm sure there
are similar tools for other browsers too.

Hope I'm understanding your question.
