Log Message:
Update to 3.0302:
VERSION 3.0301
This is a bugfix release to repair these main items:
- optgroups bugfix for complex arrays
- removal of HTML::Entities support due to utf8 issues
- new es_ES Messages module with better translations
- a patch from Mark Hedges to enable plugin modules for mailresults()
The rest of the features remain the same as below.
VERSION 3.03
Subclassable Fields
Each field is now rendered by its own class, named for the field type.
For example, text fields are rendered by
"CGI::FormBuilder::Field::text". This allows you to create custom field
types and plugging them in by creating your own
"CGI::FormBuilder::Field::whatever_you_want" module. Thanks to Peter
Eichman for his contributions to this scheme.
Messages Localization
All messages are now handled in a similar way to field types: They are
delegated to "CGI::FormBuilder::Messages::locale" where "locale" is the
appropriate string such as "en_US" or "da_DK". A number of localizations
are included as part of the standard distribution.
There are two ways to use these messages: Either the 'auto' messages
mode or by specifying a specific locale:
my $form = CGI::FormBuilder->new(messages => 'auto'); # check client
my $form = CGI::FormBuilder->new(messages => ':da_DK'); # specified
You can create your own messages by copying "_example.pm" and modifying
it for your language. When using messages in this way, the HTTP Charset
is changed to "utf-8".
Select optgroup support
By using the "field()" option "optgroups", you can now cause select
fields to automatically generate optgroup tags:
$form->field(name => 'browser', options => \@opt, optgroups => 1);
See the documentation on "optgroups" for more details.
Data::FormValidator Support
Thanks to another great patch from Peter Eichman, "Data::FormValidator"
is supported as a validation option to "new()", just by passing it in as
an object. See the documentation on "validate" for more information.
Option sorting by LABELNAME or LABELNUM
You can now sort options by "LABELNAME" or "LABELNUM", similar to the
value-based sorting of "NAME" and "NUM". See the documentation for more
details.
XHTML Compliance
Generated code now validates against <http://validator.w3.org>. This
includes stuff like lowercase "get" and "post" methods, lowercase
"onchange" and "onsubmit" actions, and so on.
