How to make an SHTML.ajaxSubmit button with the HTML's original button label instead of parameter

[DoomPirate]

Hi,

My question is:

How do I create an ajax submit button without overwriting the button's original label from the template html.

I am using ajax buttons for my form.

".action" #> SHtml.ajaxSubmit("I hope this text doesn't show", process ) 

Which runs the "process" function whenever clicking the button.

I want the template's label, not the ajaxSumbit's button label.

For my use case, it is quite important for me to be able to use the template's label, not the one that ajaxSubmit writes onto the button.

Thanks,

Phil

Hi Phil,

as its about 5am here its going to be a short answer.

You could bind a function "NodeSeq => NodeSeq" which extracts the label
from the given NodeSeq. It should look like this:

".action" #> { n : NodeSeq => SHtml.ajaxSubmit(extractLabel(n), process) }

...

def extractLabel(n : NodeSeq) : String = ???

I know I have code here for exactly this purpose but just can't find it
right now and won't be able to search until in about 20 hours. But this
should give you the idea.

Phil,

I'm on my phone so I can't go into details. But take a look at ajaxOnSubmit

Thanks Matt and Andreas, this worked.

".action" #> SHTML.ajaxOnSubmit(process)

Yep, nailed it. We added ajaxOnSubmit for exactly that purpose :)

Thanks,
