Do Forms have to be AJAX?

[parsifal]

Hi,

I'm using Ext.form.Form, and I like it, but does it have to be Ajax? I want to just have it submit like a regular form, and take the user to a new page. How can I do that?

Thanks,
Sean

It's just a wrapper for a regular DOM form to which it attaches a listener to hijack the submit event.

You can undo that:



myForm.el.un("submit", myForm.onSubmit);


And you should be able to submit as normal.

No, that doesn't work.

Accessing form.el before the call to .render() is a null reference, and doing form.el.un("submit", form.onSubmit) after the call to .render() does not result in the form being submitted when I click on a button.

Thank you for helping, though :-)

You might also have to hook up the button yourself, eg:



Ext.get('someButton').on('click', function()
{
Ext.getDom('someForm').submit();
}
);

You'll need to unhook that listener. The principle that I gave you is correct. You need to call un("submit"...) to remove the form's own submit handler which stops the event.

You have to do this.

It might have to be



myForm.el.un("submit", myForm.onSubmit, myForm);
