form with multiple fieldsets

Hi Folks,

I am trying to build a form with multiple fieldsets. I am using the json format like so:

fieldData = [ { type:"fieldset", name:"fieldset1", label:"fieldset1", inputWidth:"auto", list:[ {type:"input", name:'foo', label:'foo'}, ] } { type:"fieldset", name:"fieldset2", label:"fieldset2", inputWidth:"auto", list:[ {type:"input", name:'bar', label:'bar'}, ] } ];

What happens is both input elements (foo and bar) are displayed in fieldset1
and fieldset2 exists but is empty.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Thanks Daryl

Hi, Dude!

It works fine (ver. 3.6 and 4.0).
But, to say the truth, I fixed error - added comma.
in html:

formData = [
   {
     type:"fieldset", name:"fieldset1", label:"fieldset1", inputWidth:"auto", 
     list:[
         {type:"input",    name:'foo', label:'foo'}
     ] 
   },
   {
     type:"fieldset", name:"fieldset2", label:"fieldset2", inputWidth:"auto", 
     list:[
         {type:"input",    name:'bar', label:'bar'}
     ] 
   } 
];

or json file:

[
   {
     "type":"fieldset", "name":"fieldset1", "label":"fieldset1", "inputWidth":"auto", 
     "list":[
         {"type":"input",    "name":"foo", "label":"foo"}
     ] 
   },
   {
     "type":"fieldset", "name":"fieldset2", "label":"fieldset2", "inputWidth":"auto", 
     "list":[
         {"type":"input", "name":"bar", "label":"bar"}
     ] 
   } 
]

Hi Avalon, Thanks for your response, much appreciated. Actually my string representation of the data didn’t give the full picture. Let me explain. I am actually creating several json objects with the form:

{ type:"fieldset", name:"fieldset1", label:"fieldset1", inputWidth:"auto", list:[ {type:"input", name:'foo', label:'foo'} ] }

and they are then pushed onto an array that is then used to instantiate the form that attaches to a tab bar, i.e.

formData = [];
formData.push(json1);
formData.push(json2);
formData.push(json3);
tabBar.cells("a").attachForm(formData);

Can you see anything wrong with this approach?

Thanks,

Daryl

It works fine.
Maybe your json1, json2, … have same name: fieldset1?

Embarrassingly enough you were right. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. All is working well now.
