[Seaside] RESTFUL form processing

[Tony Giaccone]

Ah, on closer examination of the form, I found my problem.

The elements have to have name attributes. Not Id

this form, where each INPUT tag has a "name" attribute works perfectly.

Tony


<FORM action="http://localhost:8080/rest-example/addUser" method="post">
    <P>
    <table>
      <tr>
       <td> <LABEL for="firstname">First name: </LABEL></td>
       <td> <INPUT type="text" name="firstname" ></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
       <td><LABEL for="lastname">Last name: </LABEL></td>
       <td><INPUT type="text"  name="lastname"></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
       <td><LABEL for="email">email: </LABEL></td>
       <td><INPUT type="text" name="email"></td>
      </tr>
           <td> &nbsp;</td>
       <td><INPUT type="radio" name="sex" value="Male"> Male</td>
      <tr>
       <td>&nbsp;</td>
       <td><INPUT type="radio" name="sex" value="Female"> Female</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td> <INPUT type="submit" value="Send"> </td>
        <td><INPUT type="reset"></td>
      </tr>
      </table>
 </FORM>
