Query about sending values to server

[robert6000]

Hi

I've got FormPanel like on a first attachement. On this FormPanel is also hidden element which contains names of checked checkboxes written in some format for example: ' B2-P3-P5-S1-S4'. When I do submit on my form,


this.form.getForm().submit({url: 'result.php'});

there are sent values (second attachement) to the server. Because I have my hiddenField on my form I don't need to send names of my checked checkboxes to server.

My question is: Is it possible to block in any way some of the form fields that won't be sent to the server on the submit action?

the only way to do it is to intercept override the form's getValues method and delete those references.

I say just leave them.

Inputs with a blank name attribute are not submitted, so if you collect the references to the inputs, and clear the name, they won't get submitted.

Thanks a lot!

I'm confused:


var win = new Ext.Window({
width : 400,
height : 400,
items : {
xtype : 'form',
items : [
{
xtype : 'textfield',
name : ''
}
,{
xtype : 'textfield',
name : ''
}
]

}

});
win.show();

(function() {
console.log(win.items.items[0].form.getValues());
win.items.items[0].form.submit({
url : 'test',
success : function() {
}

});
}).defer(50);

yields :

I think there's an Ext bug in there somewhere.

If you look at the generated document, the inputs have a name.

yeah, i didn't digest what you were saying earlier. I see what you mean now :P

@Animal,
I also agree with your earlier post. If no 'name' is provided, a form will not submit that particular value ( as it is sent in name=value pairs)
What happens is ( im guessing), Ext must be providing a default name for any element that is not explicitly named.
I would not call is a 'bug' though...

@robert6000
a small suggestion to your matter...
Have the checkboxs out of the form. Have only the hidden field in the form.



makeStringOfCheckboxes();
this.form.getForm().submit({url: 'result.php'});
What makeStringOfCheckboxes() should do is, see what checkboxes are 'checked' and build the ' B2-P3-P5-S1-S4' and put in the hidden field (which is on the form). So on submit, it will be sent.



function makeStringOfCheckboxes(){
//pseudo code
//hold the return value
strList = "";
get list of check boxes
for each checlbox in list
if checked
strList = strList + "-" + checkBox_Name

set strList to the hidden fields value
return strList;
}
Keep us updated.
