Subject: Passing values in HTML
I need to create a form simmilar to what a FAQ does but with more
values.
I've built my form in HTML but I can't seem to figure out how to pass
the values within my table to a newly created page under a specific
parent with all the values filled in and saved (users need to still be
able to edit).
The table is simmilar to this. But I've cut out business related
information and made the form/table smaller (less fields)
<html>
<form>
<table border = "1">
<tr><th>Number:</th><td><input type = "text" name =
"inNum"></td></tr>
<tr><th>Name:</th><td><input type = "text" name =
"inName"></td></tr>
</table>
<table border = "1">
<TR><TH rowspan = "6">Requirments</th></tr>
<td>Business Driver / Need (Description of problem or
opportunity)</td>
<td><input type = "text" name = "inDecript">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Driving Organization</td>
<td><select name="selOrg" >
<option value= "1">Not Applicable</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> Regulations </td>
<td> <select name="selReg">
<option value= "1">Not Applicable</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Policies </td>
<td> <select name="selPol">
<option value= "1">Not Applicable</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Category </td>
<td><input type="text" name="inCat">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</from>
Any help would be great, this Xwiki syntax, forms, tables, templates
and classes have been driving me nuts, there has to be an easy little
section of code that can let me pass the values off to a new page and
create the page with table I just made, (copy entire contents of page
besides the "make new page button" with the fields filled in and
selected)

If the form is posted back to the view page, you can get the values
from the form inputs using velocity code like so:
#if($request.getParameter('inDecript'))
## This parameter is set, assume we have received a post, let's not show the view
page.
#set($inDecript = $request.getParameter('inDecript'))
## do some stuff with the parameters.
#else
## no post, lets show the form
{{html}}
<form ....
{{/html}}
#end
Then you have to use velocity (or groovy/python/ruby/php) to process the information.

So the if statement with 'inDecript' is basically saying if the fields
are known show the output and if they are not show the form to get the
input?
I'm not familiar with velocity at all . . I kinda just got thrown into
this task and seem to be lost with xwiki and can't find good working
examples of velocity code (other then little clips, but not a whole
page) or xwiki templates.
Thanks for the pointer though!

Yes. It will be wrong if the user goes to /YourPage?inDescript=something
If you want to prevent that, you can determine if the method is http post
$request is an HttpServeletRequest so you can google for it's methods.
I'm not familiar with velocity at all . . I kinda just got thrown into
this task
:)
If you like java better and you have programming permission on the server you
can use groovy (which accepts 99% of all java code.)
and seem to be lost with xwiki and can't find good
working
examples of velocity code (other then little clips, but not a whole
page) or xwiki templates.
The pattern which I use is to post back to the same page
where you viewed
the form and run that test.
This page is good because it shows all of the APIs which are available to you.
