Hi All
We had an informal group discussion on Tuesday at the Hackathon about
CForms.
The purpose of the discussion was to find a consensus on the
direction to take CForms, so that everybody who would like to work on
it is hopefully going to take it in the same general direction.
These are some of the points that were raised and some of the
tentative conclusions we reached.
All these sound very good. I'm not sure if I can help out, but I'll
contribute to the discussion if necessary.
There is one issue I had/have with dojo that I would love to see
addressed: dojo cannot be used in XHTML because it relies on
"dojotype" attributes in various HTML tags.
When I asked the dojo team they waived the issue with "switch to
HTML". I don't think that is a valid argument in a Cocoon environment.
It would be great if you/we could find a solution that solves this issue.
In XHTML could you not declare the dojo namespace and do this ?
<dojo:mywidget>blah</dojo:mywidget>
or
<div dojo:type="MyWidget">blah</div>
Namespaces is not something I create easily, but I'll look into it.
I have read that instead of using :
<div dojotype="MyWidget">blah</div>
you can (or should soon be able to) use a class attribute :
<div class="dojo-MyWidget">blah</div>

Hmm. I've read this too, but at the time (about a year ago) not all
dojo-widgets complied to that convention. I'll look into it to see if it
is improved.
In short: I'll see if I can find a solution and let you know/commit it.
Bye, Helma
