You need to return the json and write some jquery that reconstructs your form.

Sorry for slow response.

You may reconstruct the form at server side, that's what I do in Grails project at http://code.google.com/p/grails-form-builder-plugin/, you can find a basic documents there and the source code.

Hope this help.

Best regards,

Hi,

Thanks for you response.

I know now, there is some object built whenever there is an new field added to the form.

If you could tell me that from where i can get the result JSON.

one more thing, there is no existing code available to load the form again for editing. we need to construct on our own.


Is my understand correct?

Thanks.

Hi,

Please spend some times reading the documentation, each new field render in Builder Panel has set of hidden fields (input type="hidden") to store the field's properties which will submit to server-side and store in DB. The design document at http://code.google.com/p/jquery-form-builder-plugin/wiki/Design#Technical_Design did mentioned it.

The form constructed using server-side code, please see http://code.google.com/p/grails-form-builder-plugin/source/browse/trunk/grails-app/services/org/grails/formbuilder/FormTemplateService.groovy

Hope this help.
