'. ''. ''. ''. $widget->html; =head1 DESCRIPTION This module implements an HTML widget with multiple layers. Only one layer is visible at any given time, controlled by a ESELECTE box. For an example see http://www.420.am/selectlayers/ This HTML generated by this module uses JavaScript, but nevertheless attempts to be as cross-browser as possible. The 0.05 release drops Navigator 4 compatibility and has been tested under Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6, MSIE 6.0, Konqueror 3.3.2, and Opera 8.0.2 (2006 note: still working under newer browsers such as IE7, Firefox 2.0, etc.). =head1 FORMS My understanding is that forms cannot span EDIVEs elements. The generated HTML will have a E/FORME tag before the layers and will generate EFORME and E/FORME tags for each layer. To facilitate ESUBMITE buttons located within the layers, you can pass a form name and element names, and the relevant values will be copied to the layer's form. See the B options below. =head1 METHODS =over 4 =item new KEY, VALUE, KEY, VALUE... Options are passed as name/value pairs: options - Hash reference of layers and labels for the ESELECTE. See L to control ordering. In HTML: EOPTION VALUE="$layer"E$labelE/OPTIONE layer_callback - subroutine reference to create each layer. The layer name is passed as an option in I<@_> selected_layer - (optional) initially selected layer form_name - (optional) Form name to copy values from. If not supplied, no values will be copied. form_action - Form action form_elements - (optional) Array reference of form fields to copy from the B form. Field type is autodetected; currently text, hidden, checkbox, and select fields are supported. Radio fields are not yet supported. form_text - (optional) Array reference of text (or hidden) form fields to copy from the B form. form_checkbox - (optional) Array reference of checkbox form fields to copy from the B form. form_radio - (optional) Array reference of radio form fields to copy from the B form. form_select - (optional) Array reference of select form fields to copy from the B form. fixup_callback - (optional) subroutine reference, returns supplimentary JavaScript for the function described above under FORMS. size - (optional) size of the ESELECTE, default 1. unique_key - (optional) prepended to all JavaScript function/variable/object names to avoid namespace collisions. html_beween - (optional) HTML between the ESELECTE and the layers. under_position - (optional) specifies the positioning of any HTML appearing after the widget. I, the default, positions subsequent HTML underneath the current layer (or immediately under the select box if no layer has yet been selected), reflowing when layers are changed. I calculates the size of the largest layer and keeps the subsequent HTML in a single position underneath it. Note that I works by positioning subsequent HTML in a EDIVE, so you should probably close it yourself with a E/DIVE before your E/HTMLE end tag. I is a bit experimental and might have some quirks with truncating the end of the page under IE; you might have better results by just making all your layers the exact same size at the moment. =cut sub new { my($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 $form_elements = exists($self->{form_elements}) ? $self->{form_elements} : []; 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 $under_position = exists($self->{under_position}) ? $self->{under_position} : 'static'; my $hidden = lc($under_position) eq 'absolute' ?
