Web Component Tutorial
The Form Component
In previous releases of vFoglight, component-specific actions were disabled when a
submit action was set on a container. Now, if you set a flow on a component in a form it
will be triggered independently. This ability, combined with the new smart update
functionality, removes any HTML-induced restrictions on how a particular page and its
submissions need to be structured.
The proper way to take advantage of this feature is to not use the existing submit action
on the form, but to use the new Form component. Additionally the new Wizard
component also supports this duel mode of update.
The Form component allows you to specify multiple actions and draws them in a
standard way. If the form is a popup, it will automatically render a cancel button that
provides the same functionality as clicking on the close icon (x) in the title bar—it pops
down the window.
The input elements of the form are then added to whatever layout you wish, and added
to the Form itself.
