FIELD

<FIELD/> : FormField

The <FIELD/> widget is used to create a field within a <FORM/>.

The <FIELD/> is hidden unless it is backed by a plugin package.

Unlike other hidden form field's, the <FIELD/> widget will always post when the <FORM/> is submitted.

Attributes

Name	Type	Default	Description	Req
plugin	String		If specified, the field is created from the <PLUGIN/> using plugin=".(p1, p2, ...) where is the id of the <PACKAGE/>, is the class of the statefull or stateless widget and (p1, p2, ... pn) are the parameters passed to the class when it is created. Note: All parameters must be passed in order and be of the same type including named and optional parameters.

Examples

 <FORM>
    <FIELD id="f1" value="1"/>	
    <FIELD id="f2" value="2"/>
    <INPUT id="f3"/>	
 </FORM>

    <TEXT id="text" value="This is what shows in the red box. get('text') is called from within the dynamic widget."/>    
    <WIDGET id="w1" plugin="pkg1.MyWidget({$id},{$get},{$set})"/>
