Class FormView

java.lang.Object

javax.swing.text.View

javax.swing.text.ComponentView

javax.swing.text.html.FormView

All Implemented Interfaces:

ActionListener, EventListener, SwingConstants

public class FormView
extends ComponentView
implements ActionListener

Component decorator that implements the view interface for form elements, <input>, <textarea>, and <select>. The model for the component is stored as an attribute of the element (using StyleConstants.ModelAttribute), and is used to build the component of the view. The type of the model is assumed to of the type that would be set by HTMLDocument.HTMLReader.FormAction. If there are multiple views mapped over the document, they will share the embedded component models.

The following table shows what components get built by this view.

Constructor Details

FormView

public FormView(Element elem)

Creates a new FormView object.

Parameters:

elem - the element to decorate

Method Details

createComponent

protected Component createComponent()

Create the component. This is basically a big switch statement based upon the tag type and html attributes of the associated element.

Overrides:

createComponent in class ComponentView

Returns:

the component that is associated with this view

getMaximumSpan

public float getMaximumSpan(int axis)

Determines the maximum span for this view along an axis. For certain components, the maximum and preferred span are the same. For others this will return the value returned by Component.getMaximumSize along the axis of interest.

Overrides:

getMaximumSpan in class ComponentView

Parameters:

axis - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS

Returns:

the span the view would like to be rendered into >= 0. Typically the view is told to render into the span that is returned, although there is no guarantee. The parent may choose to resize or break the view.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - for an invalid axis

See Also:

• View.getPreferredSpan(int)

actionPerformed

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)

Responsible for processing the ActionEvent. If the element associated with the FormView, has a type of "submit", "reset", "text" or "password" then the action is processed. In the case of a "submit" the form is submitted. In the case of a "reset" the form is reset to its original state. In the case of "text" or "password", if the element is the last one of type "text" or "password", the form is submitted. Otherwise, focus is transferred to the next component in the form.

Specified by:

actionPerformed in interface ActionListener

Parameters:

evt - the ActionEvent.

submitData

protected void submitData(String data)

This method is responsible for submitting the form data. A thread is forked to undertake the submission.

Parameters:

data - data to submit

imageSubmit

protected void imageSubmit(String imageData)

This method is called to submit a form in response to a click on an image -- an <INPUT> form element of type "image".

Parameters:

imageData - the mouse click coordinates.
