Form.js

[Jan Hoskens <jh...@schaubroeck.be>]

Hi,

I have a setup where I have my form definition in a DOM Element. I used 
to load Forms.js version 2, because that script did cover this need. But 
now I need to pass some bizdata and it seems like this was missed out in 
version 2.

Besides this, I've heard that there are plans to review Forms.js and 
remove the other versions (or merge the interesting parts together).

Momentarily I've patched my version of Forms.js to be able to create a 
form starting from a DOM Element and combine this with the functionality 
of version 1. (I actually grabbed a piece of version 2 and fitted it 
into version 1 with a bit glueing) This may not be much, but it does 
have more potential than the normal v1.

I hope this can be integrated with the next (final?) Form version as 
this might be usefull for others as well. I've created a diff patch on 
the svn branch checked out today as described on 
http://cocoon.apache.org/community/contrib.html and attached it to this 
mail.

Do I create an issue for this (haven't used bugzilla before)?

Kind Regards,
Jan

Yes, please do, and prepend the name of the issue with [PATCH]

Other than that, looks like you've done the job just right!
