There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello All,

We are trying to build complex HTML webform view with the help of React JS framework. The html file and respective JS files are getting generated but due to JSX code structure all HTML sections are only gets available when form gets open and due to that our form doesnt recognize the ajax methods and form tags used with form template. tried to call a requesthandler using ajax method but it does not work but if i build HTML code and JS function then it works.

Can somebody please confirm if we should use ReactJS framework in first place to generate the HTML file ?

Regards

You can use the framework, but you will need to ensure that the appropriate fields are in the HTML file so that they can be "mailmerged" with the data by Content Server when the form is generated and also that the correct naming etc is used so that data can be saved back by Content Server when the form is submitted.

I tried on this way but when i want to display dynamic values on form using a requesthandler or webreport. it doesnt work with ajax function and other jquery functions

For a field you would need something like this for Attribute 17 :

then you can set the VALUE attribute to what ever you want, but its the NAME/ID attributes that map the value back into the attribute in Content Server. Similarly, you can use the correct tag to pull the value saved into a field as well - although unless the form field you put it in has the same NAME/ID updates wont be saved back, also you dont have to use a form field as the tags are just "mail merged" when the page is generated.

Can you share some of you code so we can review what you have ?
