In 2.5.6 XoopsForm ajax is not using at all.
Even there are many limitations for module developers in xoops.js and Xoopsform classes.

I am very basic in js and didnt know JQuery at all so I had to search a lot to find some very needed js functions for my needs in newbb and userlog:
le="color: #000000">
<?php function isOneChecked($name) { // All <input> tags... var chx = document.getElementsByName($name); for (var i=0; i<chx.length; i++) { // If you have more than one checkbox group, also check the name attribute // for the one you want as in && chx[i].name == 'choose' // Return true from the function on first match of a checked item if (chx[i].type == 'checkbox' && chx[i].checked) { return true; } } // End of the loop, return false return false; } // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2617480/how-to-get-all-elements-which-name-starts-with-some-string function preventSubmitEmptyInput($prefix) { var eles = []; var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input"); for(var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) { if(inputs[i].name.indexOf($prefix) == 0) { eles.push(inputs[i]); } } for(var i = 0; i < eles.length; i++) { if (eles[i].value =='') { eles[i].setAttribute('name', ''); } } return true; } // START irmtfan - improve: add alt, title, id and innerHTML - recognize a IMG tag for src function ToggleBlock(blockid, icon, src_expand, src_collapse, alt_expand, alt_collapse, class_expand, class_collapse) { var Img_tag='IMG'; var el=document.getElementById(blockid); if (el.className == class_expand) { el.className = class_collapse; if (icon.nodeName == Img_tag) { icon.src = src_collapse; } icon.alt= alt_collapse; icon.id = findBaseName(src_collapse); SaveCollapsed(blockid, true); } else { el.className = class_expand; if (icon.nodeName == Img_tag) { icon.src = src_expand; } icon.alt= alt_expand; icon.id = findBaseName(src_expand); SaveCollapsed(blockid, false); } icon.title = icon.alt; if (icon.nodeName != Img_tag){ icon.innerHTML=icon.alt; // to support IE7&8 use innerHTML istead of textContent } document.getElementById(blockid + "text").innerHTML=icon.alt; } // source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1991608/find-base-name-in-url-in-javascript function findBaseName(url) { var fileName = url.substring(url.lastIndexOf('/') + 1); var dot = fileName.lastIndexOf('.'); return dot == -1 ? fileName : fileName.substring(0, dot); } // END irmtfan - improve: add alt, title and innerHTML - recognize a IMG tag for src function SaveCollapsed(objid, addcollapsed) { var collapsed = GetCookie(toggle_cookie); var tmp = ""; if (collapsed != null) { collapsed = collapsed.split(","); for (i in collapsed) { if (collapsed[i] != objid && collapsed[i] != "") { tmp = tmp + collapsed[i]; tmp = tmp + ","; } } } if (addcollapsed) { tmp = tmp + objid; } expires = new Date(); expires.setTime(expires.getTime() + (1000 * 86400 * 365)); SetCookie(toggle_cookie, tmp, expires); } function SetCookie(name, value, expires) { if (!expires) { expires = new Date(); } document.cookie = name + "=" + escape(value) + "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString() + "; path=/"; } function GetCookie(name) { cookie_name = name + "="; cookie_length = document.cookie.length; cookie_begin = 0; while (cookie_begin < cookie_length) { value_begin = cookie_begin + cookie_name.length; if (document.cookie.substring(cookie_begin, value_begin) == cookie_name) { var value_end = document.cookie.indexOf (";", value_begin); if (value_end == -1) { value_end = cookie_length; } return unescape(document.cookie.substring(value_begin, value_end)); } cookie_begin = document.cookie.indexOf(" ", cookie_begin) + 1; if (cookie_begin == 0) { break; } } return null; } /** * Newbb Javascript Validation functions * * @copyright The XOOPS Project http://sourceforge.net/projects/xoops/ * @license GNU GPL 2 (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html) * @module newbb * @since 4.3 * @author irmtfan * @version $Id$ */ /** * Function for validation of xoops forms: prevent user select nothing or disable some options * @param elName : elements name * @param elType : element type eg: select, checkbox * @param prevent: prevent user select nothing: true or false * @param disablecat: disable categories in forum select box: true or false * @param elMsg: the message */ function validate(elName, elType , prevent, disablecat, elMsg) { var i = 0; var el=document.getElementsByName(elName); var is_valid = true; switch (elType) { case 'checkbox': var hasChecked = false; if (el.length) { for (i = 0; i < el.length; i++) { if (el[i].checked == true) { hasChecked = true; break; } } } else { if (el.checked == true) { hasChecked = true; } } if (!hasChecked) { if (el.length) { if (prevent) {el[0].checked = true;} el[0].focus(); }else{ if (prevent) {el.checked = true;} el.focus(); } is_valid = false; } break; case 'select': el = el[0]; if (disablecat) { for (i = 0; i < el.options.length; i++ ) { if (el.options[i].value < 0) { el.options[i].disabled = true; el.options[i].value = ''; } } } if (el.value == '') { is_valid = false; if(prevent) { for (i = 0; i < el.options.length; i++ ) { if (el.options[i].value != '') { el.value = el.options[i].value; break; // loop exit } } } } break; } return is_valid; }As you can see there are very basic and common needs:
1- check if at least one checkbox is selected in a multi-checkbox. It is useful if you want to submit only when one selected.
2- prevent to submit empty input elements. it is very useful when you have many $_GET in the URL and you dont want to end up with a messy URI with some empty arguments like this:
le="color: #000000"><?php /index.php?id=&time=&select=&cat=&post=234
using the above js function in this URI it remove all empty arguments and only post=234 is remained.
le="color: #000000"><?php /index.php?post=234
3- toggle (show/hide) very needed just having the ability to change a css class is enough.
4- set and get cookie in browser.
5- prevent user select nothing in multiselect
checkbox or
select form. It is a common bug in
all xoops modules like publisher, news, ... which user can select nothing and
break the module from working.
I didnt review 2.6 fully. but there are many limitations in 2.6 too. I hope core team add more useful js functions
with document and instruction for general usage of module developers.
