[Dojo-interest] Re: Dialog widget and form fields visibility

[Luca Fossato]

Ok, with the help of Firefox and "View Source Chart" plugin, I
discovered that the dom node of the dialog widget is moved out of the
form;
This is a piece of the the page code AFTER the javascript evaluation:

--- cut here --- --- cut here --- --- cut here --- --- cut here ---

<form method="post" action="/test.html">

  <!-- field inside the form and outside the dojo dialog -->
  <input name="formField1" value="" type="text">

  <!--start dojo dialog code -->
  <!-- ** here there was the original Dojo dialog code ** -->
  <!-- end dojo dialog code -->

  <input value="submit" type="submit">
</form>

<!-- ** those are the dom nodes of the dojo dialog !!! Dojo moved them
outside the form ** -->
<div style="overflow: visible; position: absolute; z-index: 999; left:
2px; top: 119px; display: block;" class="dojoDialog"
dojoattachpoint="wrapper">
  	
  <span dojoattachpoint="tabStart" dojoonfocus="trapTabs"
dojoonblur="clearTrap" tabindex="0"> </span>
  <div dojoattachpoint="containerNode" style="position: relative; z-index: 2;">
    <table border="0" width="100%">
      <!-- dialog form fields .... -->
    </table>
  </div>
  <span dojoattachpoint="tabEnd" dojoonfocus="trapTabs"
dojoonblur="clearTrap" tabindex="0"> </span>
</div>

<div style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; z-index: 998;
display: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); width: 1024px;
height: 46px;" class="dialogUnderlay"> </div>

</body>
</html>

--- cut here --- --- cut here --- --- cut here --- --- cut here ---

so, it is not possible for the browser to send the values of the
dialog fields to the server, because the dialog content is moved out
of the html form.

Is it possible to prevent this behaviour ?

Thank you,
Luca
