Hi all,
It is possible to extract from a Form all the name=value pairs?
I have to collect all the name=value pairs to build an url string like:
name1=value1&name2=value2&…&nameX=valueX
How can I do this?
Bye

It’s not available to get “name” of an item.

To get value you may use getItemValue(name) method

Hi,

I have found this solution:


query_parameters = "";

for (item in chart_form.itemPull) {
	if (typeof(chart_form.itemPull[item]._value)!="undefined") {
		if (typeof(chart_form.itemPull[item]._group)=="undefined") {
			if ((typeof(chart_form.itemPull[item]._checked )=="undefined") || (chart_form.itemPull[item]._checked == true)) {
				if (query_parameters!="") { 
					query_parameters += '&';
				};
				query_parameters += chart_form.itemPull[item]._idd+"="+chart_form.itemPull[item]._value;
			}
		} else {
			if (chart_form.itemPull[item]._checked == true) {
				if (query_parameters!="") { 
					query_parameters += '&';
				};
				query_parameters += chart_form.itemPull[item]._group+"="+chart_form.itemPull[item]._value;
			}
		}
	}  else {
		var xid = String(item).replace(chart_form.idPrefix,"");
		try {
			value = chart_form.getItemValue(xid);
		} catch(e) {
			value = "";
			try {
				value = chart_form.getCheckedValue(xid);
			} catch(e) {
				value = "";
				try {
					value = chart_form.getOptions(xid);
				} catch(e) {
					value = "";
					if (typeof(chart_form.itemPull[xid]._value)!="undefined") {
						if (typeof(chart_form.itemPull[xid]._group)=="undefined") {
							if ((typeof(chart_form.itemPull[xid]._checked )=="undefined") || (chart_form.itemPull[xid]._checked == true)) {
								value = chart_form.itemPull[xid]._value;
							}
						} else {
							if (chart_form.itemPull[xid]._checked == true) {
								value = chart_form.itemPull[xid]._value;
							}
						}
					}
				}
			}
		};
		if ((value!="") && (value!=null)) {
			if (query_parameters!="") { 
				query_parameters += '&';
			};
			query_parameters += xid+"="+value;
		}
	}
}

if (query_parameters =="") query_parameters = "error=true";

alert(query_parameters);

Where “chart_form” is a form created somewhere!

It is not very elegant, contains too many “if” and I suppose we can optimize. However it works!

Hello,

use this:

var t = myForm.getFormData();

to set values:

myForm.setFormData({name:"value",name2:"value2"...});
