Description


<type 'type'> extends (<class 'gluon.html.DIV'>,)

































INPUT Component

examples::

>>>
INPUT(_type='text', _name='name', value='Max').xml()
'<input name="name" type="text" value="Max" />'

>>> INPUT(_type='checkbox', _name='checkbox', value='on').xml()
'<input checked="checked" name="checkbox" type="checkbox" value="on" />'

>>> INPUT(_type='radio', _name='radio', _value='yes', value='yes').xml()
'<input checked="checked" name="radio" type="radio" value="yes" />'

>>> INPUT(_type='radio', _name='radio', _value='no', value='yes').xml()
'<input name="radio" type="radio" value="no" />'

the input helper takes two special attributes value= and requires=.

:
param value: used to pass the initial value for the input field.
value differs from _value because it works for checkboxes, radio,
textarea and select/option too.

-
for a checkbox value should be '' or 'on'.
-
for a radio or select/option value should be the _value
of the checked/selected item.

:
param requires: should be None, or a validator or a list of validators
for the value of the field.


Attributes


INPUT.__class__ <type 'type'> extends (<type 'object'>,) belongs to class <type 'type'>
type(object) -> the object's type type(name, bases, dict) -> a new type

INPUT.__delattr__ <type 'wrapper_descriptor'> belongs to class <type 'wrapper_descriptor'>
x.__delattr__('name') <==> del x.name

INPUT.__delitem__ <type 'instancemethod'> belongs to class <type 'instancemethod'>
deletes attribute with name 'i' or component #i. :param i: index if i is a string: the name of the attribute otherwise references to number of the component

INPUT.__dict__ <type 'dictproxy'> belongs to class <type 'dictproxy'>

INPUT.__doc__ <type 'str'> belongs to class <type 'str'>
str(object) -> string Return a nice string representation of the object. If the argument is a string, the return value is the same object.

INPUT.__getattribute__ <type 'wrapper_descriptor'> belongs to class <type 'wrapper_descriptor'>
x.__getattribute__('name') <==> x.name

INPUT.__getitem__ <type 'instancemethod'> belongs to class <type 'instancemethod'>
gets attribute with name 'i' or component #i. If attribute 'i' is not found returns None :param i: index if i is a string: the name of the attribute otherwise references to number of the component

INPUT.__hash__ <type 'wrapper_descriptor'> belongs to class <type 'wrapper_descriptor'>
x.__hash__() <==> hash(x)

INPUT.__init__ <type 'instancemethod'> belongs to class <type 'instancemethod'>
:param *components: any components that should be nested in this element :param **attributes: any attributes you want to give to this element :raises SyntaxError: when a stand alone tag receives components

INPUT.__len__ <type 'instancemethod'> belongs to class <type 'instancemethod'>
returns the number of included components

INPUT.__module__ <type 'str'> belongs to class <type 'str'>
str(object) -> string Return a nice string representation of the object. If the argument is a string, the return value is the same object.

INPUT.__new__ <type 'builtin_function_or_method'> belongs to class <type 'builtin_function_or_method'>
T.__new__(S, ...) -> a new object with type S, a subtype of T

INPUT.__nonzero__ <type 'instancemethod'> belongs to class <type 'instancemethod'>
always return True

INPUT.__reduce__ <type 'method_descriptor'> belongs to class <type 'method_descriptor'>
helper for pickle

INPUT.__reduce_ex__ <type 'method_descriptor'> belongs to class <type 'method_descriptor'>
helper for pickle

INPUT.__repr__ <type 'wrapper_descriptor'> belongs to class <type 'wrapper_descriptor'>
x.__repr__() <==> repr(x)

INPUT.__setattr__ <type 'wrapper_descriptor'> belongs to class <type 'wrapper_descriptor'>
x.__setattr__('name', value) <==> x.name = value

INPUT.__setitem__ <type 'instancemethod'> belongs to class <type 'instancemethod'>
sets attribute with name 'i' or component #i. :param i: index if i is a string: the name of the attribute otherwise references to number of the component :param value: the new value

INPUT.__str__ <type 'instancemethod'> belongs to class <type 'instancemethod'>
str(COMPONENT) returns equals COMPONENT.xml()

INPUT.__weakref__ <type 'getset_descriptor'> belongs to class <type 'getset_descriptor'>
list of weak references to the object (if defined)

INPUT._fixup <type 'instancemethod'> belongs to class <type 'instancemethod'>
Handling of provided components. Nothing to fixup yet. May be overridden by subclasses, eg for wrapping some components in another component or blocking them.

INPUT._postprocessing <type 'instancemethod'> belongs to class <type 'instancemethod'>

INPUT._setnode <type 'instancemethod'> belongs to class <type 'instancemethod'>

INPUT._traverse <type 'instancemethod'> belongs to class <type 'instancemethod'>

INPUT._validate <type 'instancemethod'> belongs to class <type 'instancemethod'>

INPUT._wrap_components <type 'instancemethod'> belongs to class <type 'instancemethod'>
helper for _fixup. Checks if a component is in allowed_parents, otherwise wraps it in wrap_parent :param allowed_parents: (tuple) classes that the component should be an instance of :param wrap_parent: the class to wrap the component in, if needed :param wrap_lambda: lambda to use for wrapping, if needed

INPUT._xml <type 'instancemethod'> belongs to class <type 'instancemethod'>
helper for xml generation. Returns separately: - the component attributes - the generated xml of the inner components Component attributes start with an underscore ('_') and do not have a False or None value. The underscore is removed and the name will be in lower case. A value of True is replaced with the attribute name. :returns: tuple: (attributes, components)

INPUT.append <type 'instancemethod'> belongs to class <type 'instancemethod'>
list style appending of components

INPUT.element <type 'instancemethod'> belongs to class <type 'instancemethod'>

find all sibling components that match the supplied argument list and attribute dictionary, or None if nothing could be found
