Folks,
Hi!
Do I really NEED to have a form with my <select> components ?
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees. :P The Form component is the one
who actually invokes the form field components logic that handles form
submissions, so no, you can't have Tapestry's form field components
without a surrounding Form. On the other hand, nothing prevents you to
create your own Select-like component that doesn't need a Form to work and
(optionally) submits a hidden form or triggers some server-side event.
I know its unorthadox...
Almost all of the unorthodox things you've asked so far were the wrong way
of doing something and the orthodox way was the recommended one.
but I would like to skip the form if possible to keep this lightweight
What's the weight you think the Form component adds?
and just use onchange="this.form.submit()" when it gets selected.
You can do that with the Form component. Anyway, don't use onchange, use
Prototype's Event.observe() or the corresponding function in jQuery or
your JS framework of choice instead. Do the right thing. Leave bad things
behind. :)
