'. ''. ''. ''. $widget->html; =head1 DESCRIPTION This module implements an HTML widget with multiple layers. Only one layer is visible at any given time, controlled by a ESELECTE box. For an example see http://www.420.am/selectlayers/ This HTML generated by this module uses JavaScript, but nevertheless attempts to be as cross-browser as possible, testing for features via DOM support rather than specific browsers or versions. It has been tested under Mozilla 0.9.8, Netscape 4.77, IE 5.5, Konqueror 2.2.2, and Opera 5.0. =head1 FORMS Not all browsers seem happy with forms that span layers. The generated HTML will have a E/FORME tag before the layers and will generate EFORME and E/FORME tags for each layer. To facilitate ESUBMITE buttons located within the layers, you can pass a form name and element names, and the relevant values will be copied to the layer's form. See the B options below. =head1 METHODS =over 4 =item new KEY, VALUE, KEY, VALUE... Options are passed as name/value pairs: options - Hash reference of layers and labels for the ESELECTE. See L to control ordering. In HTML: EOPTION VALUE="$layer"E$labelE/OPTIONE layer_callback - subroutine reference to create each layer. The layer name is passed as an option in I<@_> selected_layer - (optional) initially selected layer form_name - (optional) Form name to copy values from. If not supplied, no values will be copied. form_action - Form action form_text - (optional) Array reference of text (or hidden) form fields to copy from the B form. form_checkbox - (optional) Array reference of checkbox form fields to copy from the B form. form_radio - (optional) Array reference of radio form fields to copy from the B form. form_select - (optional) Array reference of select (not select multiple) form fields to copy from the B form. fixup_callback - (optional) subroutine reference, returns supplimentary JavaScript for the function described above under FORMS. size - (optional) size of the ESELECTE, default 1. unique_key - (optional) prepended to all JavaScript function/variable/object names to avoid namespace collisions. html_beween - (optional) HTML between the ESELECTE and the layers. =cut sub new { my($proto, %options) = @_; my $class = ref($proto) || $proto; my $self = \%options; bless($self, $class); } =cut =item html Returns HTML for the widget. =cut sub html { my $self = shift; my $key = exists($self->{unique_key}) ? $self->{unique_key} : ''; my $between = exists($self->{html_between}) ? $self->{html_between} : ''; my $options = $self->{options}; my $form_action = exists($self->{form_action}) ? $self->{form_action} : ''; my $form_text = exists($self->{form_text}) ? $self->{form_text} : []; my $form_checkbox = exists($self->{form_checkbox}) ? $self->{form_checkbox} : []; my $form_radio = exists($self->{form_radio}) ? $self->{form_radio} : []; my $form_select = exists($self->{form_select}) ? $self->{form_select} : []; my $html = $self->_safeonload. $self->_visualize.
