FormSender component
Here is a new component I created, FormSender. It allows you to send arbitary key/value pairs via traditional POST or GET methods. This is sometimes needed for integration with existing web services. There is an online demo, and you can grab the sources and jar from the SVN.
Can this plugin help me, if i want to open the page with post method? What should I do for it?
Hi,
I tried the online demo but it doesn't appear to work anymore (nothing happens when I select something from the drop down).
Thanks,
Mark
Is there a way to open the submit target in a new Window ? I always get transfered from my current application to the submit taget .
Hello, I am trying to use FormSender in a View component,
but cannot add the object of FormSender to any layout in Vaadin:
HorizontalLayout layout = new HorizontalLayout();
FormSender sender = new FormSender();
...
layout.addComponent(sender); // <-- does not work.
How can I use it with a View?
Would be grateful for any advice!
If you're using it in Vaadin 7, then FormSender is actually an extension (https://vaadin.com/book/vaadin7/-/page/gwt.extension.html). So you can just create it, configure it and call extend with your UI as parameter:
sender.extend(UI.getCurrent())
Hi,
First, thanks for the component. I use it.
But I want to open the new window self. Now It is opening as popup window.
<form action="demo_form.asp" method="get" target="_self">
First name: <input type="text" name="fname"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" name="lname"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
How can I do?
