Can custom id's be used for module forms and input fields? I know that the id of a form determines how the form is processed but if the form id matches the input id's does it matter what you use?
For example - normally you would create from elements like this:
Code: Select all
$this->CreateFormStart($id,'action',$returnid)
$this->CreateInputText($id,'blah')
Will the form still function correctly if you do something like this:
Code: Select all
$myid = 'customid';
$this->CreateFormStart($myid,'action',$returnid);
$this->CreateInputText($myid,'blah');
I'm in the process of building a module that requires a large amount of JavaScript. My goal is to dynamically generate my JavaScript using one PHP file. I would then include the file on the page using the "<__script__ />" tag like this:
Code: Select all
<__script__ src="http://localhost/index.php?mact=ContestManager,cntnt01,js,0&cntnt01showtemplate=false&cntnt01contest_id=1&cntnt01returnid=15" type="text/javascript"></__script>
The script "src" attribute will pass the "id" of the record (contest_id) to my php file. The php file will dynamically create my JavaScript based on the record id (contest_id).
Hope this makes sense. If anybody has an example of this technique currently being used in a module I would love to take a look.
