Fill forms automatically, based on data from a previous HTML form. Typically
|
|
(but not necessarily) used in conjunction with the
|
|
Catalyst::Plugin::FormValidator manpage. This module automatically inserts data
|
|
from a previous HTML form into HTML input fields, textarea fields, radio
|
|
buttons, checkboxes, and select tags. It is an instance of the HTML::FillInForm
|
|
manpage, which itself is a subclass of the HTML::Parser manpage, which it uses
|
|
to parse the HTML and insert the values into the proper form tags.
|
|
|
|
The usual application is after a user submits an HTML form without filling out
|
|
a required field, or with errors in fields having specified constraints.
|
|
FillInForm is used to redisplay the HTML form with all the form elements
|
|
containing the submitted info. FillInForm can also be used to fill forms with
|
|
data from any source, e.g. directly from your database.
