Listen to Response on HTML Form embedded in GWT View?
- by confile
I have a HTML like the following:
<div>
<form>
<input type="text" />
<button class="sendForm" value="Send form" />
</form>
</div>
<script>
// post the form with Jquery post
// register a callback that handles the response
</script>
I use this type of form a lot with a JavaScript/JQuery overlay that displays the form. That could be handled for example with plugins like FancyBox.
I also want to use this form embedded into a GWT view. Lets assume that the for cannot be created on client side because it has some server based markup language inside to set up some model data.
If I want to use this form in GWT I have to do the following. Tell GWT the form request url and use a RequestBuilder to query the html content of this form. Then I can insert it into a div generated by GWT. So far so good.
Problem:
When the user hits the send button the response is handled my the JQuery callback that is inside the script under the form.
Is there a way to access this callback from within GWT?
Is there a way to overwrite the JQuery send action? Since, the code is HTML and comes from the server I cannot place ui-binder UiFields inside to get access to these DOM elements.
I need to get the response if the submitted form accessible to GWT.
Is there a way how I can achieve this with JSNI?
