Bear with me it's a long description I want to use Dojo's TabContainer. But I want to implement lazy tab loading. by that I mean that all contents of all tabs will not be loaded.
Here is the approach I follow: 1) I have two forms. The first Form encompasses the TabContainer and has a Submit button to save all details for all tabs 2) The Second Form has one AjaxSubmit button, for each Tab. The responsibility of the Ajax submit button is to update the Tab it corresponds to in Form 1. Hence the updateComponents of each AjaxSubmit button corresponds to each div tag for each Tab. Of course I make all this invisible so the user doesn't see it. 3) I use dojo's event system to intercept tab.show and fire off an ajax submit via a javascript click on the corresponding AjaxSubmit button for Form 2. Tacos updateComponents takes care of partial refresh of only that Tab. 4) Why do I have two forms? I want to avoid the Rewind cycle for Form 1. So a Form 2 submit will not cause Form 1 data to rewind. That way dirty Form 1 Data will not make its way to the server. 5) Why do I need @If - I use an @If to stifle the render - so if I am refreshing Tab 3, the @If for Tab 1, Tab 2 etc. will be False. That way I make the render also "lazy", or rather "selective" 6) Why do I need all @If to be true finally? When I submit Form 1, I want the complete Rewind Cycle to kick in for the entire Form, so that all properties are set On 8/4/06, Jesse Kuhnert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Perhaps we could be more helpful if you told us what the general purpose of your logic is? (ie does it have to do with validation?)
