[patch] [CLA] Form widget: process native elements in addition to widgets

[guest]

dijit.form.Form.getValues() currently ONLY submits values of widgets inside the form not values of normal form elements, this patch fixes that.

[guest]

temporary simple fix, to make it at least work

[guest]

for the record I proposed the patch wolfram.kriesing@…, guest might not have a CLA :-)

Set to milestone 1.1? Why that? If the form elements that are no widgets dont get returned by getValues() the widget will be unusable for those forms not using widgets for all the form elements, as for me for example. In 0.4 that was very well possible. Is my provided quick-fix breaking something that it could not be applied before 1.1?

Patch looks good but also, the set function needs to handle native elements (in addition to the get function), and test file needs to be updated to check that.

Thanks!

Hi Wolfram,

Can you update this patch so that:

• checkboxes and radio buttons work
• update test_Form.html to have native elements in addition to widgets
• make setValues() work too

Otherwise we have to say that Form sort-of works for native elements, which I guess is better than nothing, but not ideal.

Thanks!

Wolfram, please see bill's previous comments... I think getting this fixed for Dojo 1.1 is important.

[wolfram]

i will try to get it done for the 1.1beta

(In [12012]) refs #4408, #5359, #5550 - adds semantic degradable textarea, select, and hidden input types that work with dijit.form.Form

Wolfram, Pete, what's the status of this one?

[bill]

defer dormant enhancements to "future" (they don't look like they're getting fixed soon so might as well mark as such)

This ticket intersects 100% with #7999 (the form manager in DojoX).
