Hi,

I'm still a bit afraid of that Unicode- stuff. Will it always work if I
use Unicode in my submit value? There is so much decoding and encoding
between server and client and in the server itself.

I'll try the value_loc approach, thanks!

Thanks - I'm glad it's useful.

But I ran into one problem. I want to use multiple submit buttons.
The common way is, to set a value on each and check that value
later to determine which has been clicked. That's fine asa long as
your page is in only one language.

Could you not do something like:

if ( $form->param( 'submit_1' ), eq $form->loc( 'submit_1' ) ) { #
submit_1 pressed } elsif ( $form->param( 'submit_2' ), eq $form->loc(
'submit_2' ) ) { # submit_2 pressed }

That's assuming the form is created something like this:

--- elements: - type: submit name: submit_1 value_loc: submit_1 -
type: submit name: submit_2 value_loc: submit_2

The only potential problem I think think of with this approach is if:
 * you're storing the user's language choice using a session or
cookie * after viewing the page containing the form, but before
submitting the form... * ...the user uses a 2nd browser window to
change their language choice You could prevent this by also storing
the language choice in a hidden field, and then doing
$form->languages([ $form->param('lang') ]) before doing the 'eq'
checks.

I thought of a hidden field whose value is being changed on
submitting (by JS). If there is no better way I will write an
element for that and publish it.

I'd like to make sure that nothing in the core relies on JS for functionality - so make sure you pick an appropriate namespace if you
 write something like that.

For example, I've created a couple of elements in the HTML::FormFu::Element::Dojo::* namespace which use the dojo
javascript library (although even these degrade gracefully and are
usable without JS). See
http://html-formfu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/HTML-FormFu-Dojo/

Cheers, Carl
