Form(3pm)
NAME
Embperl::Form - Embperl Form class
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
METHODS
- new ($controls, $options)
- o $controls
Array ref with controls which should be displayed inside the form. Each control needs either to be a hashref with all parameters for
the control or a control object.If hash refs are given it's necessary to specify the "type"
parameter, to let Embperl::Form know which control to create.See Embperl::Form::Control and Embperl::Form::Control::* for a list of available parameters. - o $options
Hash ref which can take the following parameters:o formname
Will be used as name and id attribute of the form. If you have more then one form on a page it's necessary to have different
form names to make form validation work correctly.o masks
Contains a hash ref which can specify a set of masks for the
controls. A mask is a set of parameter which overwrite the
setting of a control. You can specify a mask for a control name (key is name), for a control type (key is *type) or for all
controls (key is *).Example:
{
'info' => { readonly => 1},
'*textarea' => { cols => 80 },
'*' => { labelclass => 'myclass', labelnowrap => 1} }This will force the control with the name "info" to be
readonly, it will force all "textarea" controls to have 80
columns and it will force the label of all controls to have a
class of myclass and not to wrap the text.o defaults
Contains a hash ref which can specify a set of defaults for the controls. You can specify a default for a control name (key is name), for a control type (key is *type) or for all controls
(key is *).Example:
{
'info' => { readonly => 1},
'*textarea' => { cols => 80 },
'*' => { labelclass => 'myclass', labelnowrap => 1} }This will make the control with the name "info" to default to
be readonly, it will deafult all "textarea" controls to have 80 columns and it will set the default class for the labels of all controls to myclass and not to wrap the text.o valign
valign for control cells. Defaults to 'top' .o jsnamespace
Give the JavaScript Namespace. This allows to load js Files in a top frame or different frame, which will speed up page
loading, because the browser does not need to reload the js
code on every load.Example:
jsnamespace => 'top' - layout
show
