Submitting a form within a window

[ev.kaushik]

Hi,

I have a window component. I have a form in it with a few text fields. Now, my requirement is, when i click submit in this form, the action page that i have mentioned should be loaded within this window. But the whole page is loaded with the action page here, i dont want this to happen. Secondly, how do i display the values in the field in the action page. Like, in JSP we have "request.getParameter('fieldname')", Like wise how do i access smart client field values in the action page.

Please help me in this regard. Thank you

Hello ev.kaushik,

In order to submit values from a form to a URL without wiping out the page, you should call saveData on the form after binding it to a DataSource.

It looks like you may have jumped into coding without reading enough of the overview materials - we'd recommend going back to the DataBinding chapter of the QuickStart Guide and following pointers to related documentation from there.

If it's a direct submit, it's getParameter() as you mentioned. If it's done via saveData(), you have a number of choices as indicated in the documentation you were referred to.
