Re: [Lift] onSubmitUnit or ajaxSubmit doesn't work

[David Pollak]

A few things...

First, if you're using Html5, then the </input> tag is not helping things.

Second, there's no target for your form, so it's unlikely that it's being submitted to the server.

Please read through http://simply.liftweb.net/index-Chapter-4.html#toc-Chapter-4 It should help.

I'm new to Lift and trying to run a very basic example. The transformations work, but when I click the submit button, nothing happens. No idea why.

This is the HTML:

<div class="lift:MySnippet.test" form="POST">
  <div>START---------------------------------------------------</div>
  <div id="name_input"></div>
  <input id="testsubmit" type="submit" value="x"></input>
  <div>END---------------------------------------------------</div>
</div>

This is the snippet:

class MySnippet {
 
 def test = {
 var itemName = "item name"
 
 "#name_input" #> SHtml.text(itemName, itemName = _) &
 "#testsubmit" #>
 SHtml.ajaxSubmit("label", () => println("test"))
// SHtml.onSubmitUnit(() => println("test"))
 }
}

"label" works. But println seems not to be executed.

Thanks in advance.

Also take a look at SHtml.makeFormsAjax.  Note: you're going to need <form> tags for this to work

your snippet would look like

class MySnippet {
 
 def test = { render andThen SHtml.makeFormsAjax }

 def test = {


   var itemName = "item name"
 
   "#name_input" #> SHtml.text(itemName, itemName = _) &
   "#testsubmit" #> SHtml.ajaxSubmit("label", () => println("test"))

sorry typos in my code

class MySnippet {
 
 def test =

{ render andThen SHtml.makeFormsAjax }

 def render = {

The form was missing either target, or in the case of Ajax: 

 <form class="lift:form.ajax">...</form>

 

Was oriented by some code snippets from "Lift in action". Probably wrongly combined.

The examples from  http://simply.liftweb.net/ got me running, thanks!
