I think I've worked out what I *want* to do, but I'm not sure if this is easy in web2py. I want to use the onsubmit handler in a form to reload the form from a .load view, but return false so that the *final* submit action is not called. Then, if the reloaded form validates, I can set response.js in the loaded view to actually call .submit() on the form. As I understand, this will *not* trigger the onsubmit event <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLFormElement/submit>, but it will go to the url specified in the action. That way I can do, e.g.
<form action="some_other_url" target="_blank" onsubmit="reload_form(); return false;"> ... <input type="submit" /> </form> and only if the form validates will clicking [submit] open up a new tab containing some_other_url. Otherwise, the form will be reloaded in-situ using AJAX. Is this a reasonable way to proceed, and is there any web2py magic that I could use to help with this? Or will I need to code by hand all the AJAX reloading in the `reload_form()` function shown above, risking duplicating the web2py LOAD() functionality? -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
