Polymorphic ListField?

snick...@gmail.com (Seth Nickell) — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 23:05:53 UT

I'd like to create a form that has a list with multiple "types" inside the
list. For example, lets say I want a list of "message-posts", but a message
post could be a URL field, a text block, or an image. Is there a way to
accomplish this with inputEx?
thanks,

Getting Started?

ann...@cs.tu-berlin.de (anneha) — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 20:36:05 UT

Hi,

I tried to create a inputEx-Field and follow the instruction on your
webpage. But I saw nothing (no field).
A colleague told me the problem is "YUI()". It is wrong, isn't it?
We need "YUI({filter: 'raw'})". This works in my implementation.
Can you change it on the webpage, if this is the correct way?

Issue #41

Hi all,

I’m a new member in this group. I used inputEx before, but now my
project partner and I want to implement a feature for inputEx. We had
a task in our university, to search an open source project and fix a
bug or implement a feature. It is our first implementation in inputEx.
We want to implement the issue number 41:

Match two string fields?

I thought I would be able to use the "confirm" attribute that is used
for password fields to verify that 2 string fields match, but that
apparently does not work for string fields. Any suggestions on how to
require 2 email fields to match? I could do just plain javascript, but
I don't know how to call the JavaScript before the form submit. Can I

How to create a form from JSON

adds a field, I cannot specify it to be a checkbox or boolean field

How do you create custom layouts so fields can be on the same line?

The CombineField is not what I need because it does not handle

I need layouts other than the 2 column one.

I have a Form with a List Field and inside of each list entry is a

individual controls in the combined field are not validated, and the

I have a question regarding the setValue() method of a GroupField. On
line 248 of Group.js, you loop through all of the inputs, and if a
value was sent for it, you update the value of that input. This is
great. The next line, IMO should be made optional.
On line 255 if a value isn't sent, you call the clear() method on the
