[T5.1] posting externally with t:form
Hi All,
I've got a rather complex form that I'd like to use the tapestry form
components to initialise but it needs to post externally.
Is there a way to do this with tapestry? Form components require a
surrounding t:form element which then overrides the action. I can't see any
way around this without some javascript hack or avoiding tapestry components
completely.
Thanks,
Jack

Just do it in plain HTML.
<form method="post" action="http://some.other.site/action">
<input type="text" value="${someProperty}" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

Ops sorry you're right, I did misunderstood you. As others already
suggested you should do in plain HTML/JavaScript.

No worries, that's what I thought.
Probably from a tapestry perspective it doesn't make a lot of sense but it's
not an uncommon use case.
I would say it would be an improvement if I could override the default form
action and leverage tapestry form components in these situations.

You could use JavaScript for that as, from a Tapestry perspective, it
doesn't make sense to post to other pages.

Thanks Massimo but I'm trying to do it the other way around (if I've
understood you correctly).
I am hosting the form on a tapestry site which I need to post to an external
non-tapestry site. The problem is that in using tapestry components I can't
set the action attribute of the form to post to this external site. The form
component will override any action I define.

If you want to use the form component simply code the t:formdata
parameter in your post request then set parameter as usual then you
can get T5 do the rest and you can process the form the T5-way.
Till you don't change the tml of the form you're safe.
