HTML DOM Events

[Sungsam Gong]

Hi all,

There might be a proper document, but still hanging'n there - so
better to giving a shout.

How can I insert a HTML DOM Event?
For example:
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Go"
onClick="$('#my_activity').activity()>
or
<form id="form114" method="post" onSubmit="$('#my_activity').activity()">

Regards,
Sung

you could use 'element_attrib':

has_field 'submit' => (
type => 'Submit',
element_attr => {
onClick => "$('#my_activity').activity()",
},
);

once you are familiar with the basics, the Reference manual is one of
the most useful pieces of documentation IMHO:

https://metacpan.org/module/HTML::FormHandler::Manual::Reference

Thanks Patrick.

I actually have seen 'element_attr' and tried before posting this, but
with no success - still printing <input type="submit" name="submit"
id="submit" value="Go" /> only.
Does the use of 'HTML::FormHandler::Widget::Form::Table' within the form matter?
Mine is built on HFH 0.36003.

no, this is just a wrapper around your field, so doesn't affect the
rendering of the field itself.

looks like in this version, the attribute was called 'html_attr'
instead.

BTW, to get the correct documentation for the version you are using, you
should select your version in the left column of the metacpan.org
display (or navigate to the version on cpan.org).

FWIW - If you are new to HFH, it's probably best to start with the
newest version, assuming you have some say in this... 'html_attr' use
is deprecated and will require changes to your existing code if you
update the module at some point in the future.

you are right of course. but since the OP said he uses a certain old
version, I was assuming he is working on an existing project which
depends on this version.

this assumption might be wrong, though, because lots of users install
perl modules from OS distribution packages which are often out-of-date
(especially if you use e.g. Debian stable). I therefore always install
perl modules directly from cpan.
