Pure Javascript

Forms (functions)

The Form module provides functions for manipulating forms such as the bulk retreival or setting of form field values. In particular, the Forms.InsertResponseValues function is a convenience function that allows you to pass a form's ID, a key name that is expected to be within the results, and the JSON encoded responseText returned from a HTTP request; and the function will fill in the values of that form, as appropriate.

AddToMulti

Forms.AddToMulti( event )

This function triggers the addition of a span containing text and a 'data-value' attribute into the div identified with 'data-target-id'. It will also add the value to hidden text attribute with a name matching the value of 'data-target-id'.

<select placeholder='Select option' onchange='Forms.AddToMulti( event );' data-target-id='div-multi'></select>

<div id='div-mutli' data-hidden-input-id='input-hidden'>

Forms.Changed( event )
