DESCRIPTION

Create sticky forms with HTML::SuperForm.

METHODS

sform

alias to superform

superform

Returns a instance of HTML::SuperForm preconfigured with sticky and fallback options on. See HTML::SuperForm for more information and examples.

EXAMPLE USING TT PLUGIN

A simplistic but working app SuperForm, TT and AutoRunmode plugins. TT brings in 'c' var to templates automatically, SuperForm brings in 'sform'.

  Files:

    ./lib/MyApp.pm
    .MyApp/form.tmpl
    ./server.pl

  lib/MyApp.pm

		package MyApp;
		use base 'Titanium';

		use CGI::Application::Plugin::TT;
		use CGI::Application::Plugin::SuperForm;
		use CGI::Application::Plugin::AutoRunmode;

		sub form: Runmode{
			my $c = shift;
			$c->tt_process();
		}


		sub process_form(): Runmode{
			my $c = shift;
			# do something with user input.
			# redirect to success page, etc.
			return "You said: ". $c->query()->param('input1');
		}



		1;    # End of MyApp

  MyApp/form.tmpl

	  <html>
		[% c.sform.start_form({method=>"POST"}) %]<br/>
		Say what? [% c.sform.text({name=>"input1"}) %]<br/>
		[% c.sform.hidden({name=>"rm", value=>"process_form"})	%]<br/>
		[% c.sform.submit()%]<br/>
		[% c.sform.end_form() %]<br/>
	  </html>

  .server.pl

		use warnings;
		use strict;
		use CGI::Application::Server;
		use lib 'lib';
		use MyApp;

		my $app = MyApp->new(PARAMS => {});
		my $server = CGI::Application::Server->new();
		$server->document_root('.');
		$server->entry_points({
		    '/index.cgi' => $app,
		});
		$server->run;
