cms\includes\class.input.helper.php

This function is useful if you need to use HTML elements in a loop, but don't want to re-create new objects each time.

Example to attach an onClick handler: setEventDefinition("foo", "onClick", "alert('foo');");

This function is not restricted to a single style, e.g. you can set multiple style definitions as-is to the handler.

$example->attachStyle("myIdentifier", "border: 1px solid black; white-space: nowrap"); $example->attachStyle("myIdentifier2", "padding: 0px");

Results in:

style="border: 1px solid black; white-space: nowrap; padding: 0px;"

Array format: $stuff = array( array("value","title"), array("value","title"));

or regular key => value arrays.

This is a generic form element, where specific elements should be inherited from this class.

Creates an HTML select field (aka "DropDown").

fillSkeleton fills the SGML opener tag with the specified attributes. Attributes need to be passed in the stringyfied variant.

Sets the "alt" and "title" tags. Usually, "alt" is used for accessibility and "title" for mouse overs.

To set the text for all browsers for mouse over, set "alt" and "title". IE behaves incorrectly and shows "alt" on mouse over. Mozilla browsers only show "title" as mouse over.

User Agents usually are showing the element as "greyed-out".

Example: $obj->setDisabled("disabled"); $obj->setDisabled("");

The first example sets the disabled flag, the second one removes the disabled flag.

example: $item->setEvent("change","document.forms[0].submit");

The tab index needs to be numeric, bigger than 0 and smaller than 32767.

example: $item->unsetEvent("change");
