Multipage form using an AJAX modal box

[Benjamin Boksa-2]

Dear List,

at the moment I am trying to implement a multipage form using a modal  
box [1] in Cocoon 2.2. To be more precise I want to implement  
something like the following:

(1) Read a form which is sent out by an existing flowscript using  
form.showForm("foo1"); using modalbox
(2) Submit the form (using AJAX) and validate it using the standard  
CForms framework
(3a) If the validation is successful display the next page  
(form.showForm("foo2") or cocoon.sendPage(…)) in the modal box
(3b) If the validation is not successful send the bu:replace and  
incorporate them into the currently displayed form
(4) After all pages of the form have been displayed close the modal box

I hope the general idea is clear, however I do not know the right  
places to start digging into the existing CForms implementation. (1)  
is quite easy to implement, however even though I use AJAX a  
completely new page is loaded when I submit the form (Cocoon should  
send bu:replaces at that point, shouldn't it)? (4) is easy to  
implement as well.

So which are the things I should take a look at (or is there even some  
documentation on the internals anywhere?).

Looking forward to your answers and suggestions

Benjamin

Hi,

Even though you're working with Cocoon 2.2, i think you could take a
look at [1]. This doc might help you.

Cheers.

Hi André,

thank you for your answer. I know the document you mentioned, creating  
AJAX-forms is not a problem for me. The problem is that for the case I  
am working on at the moment I need to intercept/add some callbacks in/
… some parts of the existing AJAX framework e.g. intercept the  
bu:replace-answers before they are processed.

I am looking for some more information and suggestions concerning  
these parts - would be great if you (or someone else) could point me  
to some good documentation.

Thanks a lot in advance

Benne
