That works perfectly indeed.
Always thought that nested forms would break in html, but wicket converts them to a div indeed. that's so clever. I already told my colleagues, and it's definitely something we'll use frequently.
Thanks a lot !
kind regards, Marieke
Hi,
yes this is possible, you can nest forms in wicket. Just make a form in a form in both your markup and your code. As this doesn't conform the html standard, wicket will automagically change the second form to a div and only submit the inner form. But be careful when submitting the outer form ... if I remember correctly, then the inner form gets submitted as well.... however I'm not sure about that.
regards,
Michael

Hello,
I think I can explain it best with an example :
TextField txt = new TextField("txt");
WebMarkupContainer btn = new WebMarkupContainer("btn");
btn.add(new AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior("onclick", txt);
=> I want to submit the value of another formcomponent when clicking on the button.
I know I can use an AjaxButton or a AjaxFormSubmitBehavior instead, but than all the fields on my form are submitted, and I only want this one field. There are a lot of fields on my form, and it's not necessary to submit all of them and then I have to deal with the validation of my form and so..
Is this possible in any way? Are is it something that can be added to the AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior class?
Thanks ! Marieke
