How to use CSS selector to change form action attribute

[Felipe Kamakura]

Hello everyone,

Suppose I have the following snippet:

<form id="myform" class="lift:MySnippet?form=post>
...
</form>

In my Snippet I would like to specify the form's action attribute, so
I tried the following

"#myform [action]" #> ( S.uri + "?myParam=" + S.param("myParam")
openOr "")

But the action attribute is not replaced. Is there a way to specify it
in my Snippet?

Thanks!

Yeah, remove the form=post... that sets the action and the method after the snippet is processed.

My answer my be totally off as I'm still new to Lift but if you use
class="lift:MySnippet?form=post>, lift will assign the action to the
current page, if you try to change that, maybe you don;t want
MySnippet to handle the post data, in which case you may want to omit
the attribute

class="lift:MySnippet?form=post" and just use a regular html form and
in the action



This works for me:

<lift:MySnippet.renderresults>
<form id="myform" action="menos">
diego
</form>
</lift:MySnippet.renderresults>


===============

class MySnippet {

def renderresults = {
"#myform [action] " #> "/foo"
}

}


I hope this helps
