Description
The <netui:anchor> tag has an 'action' and 'formSubmit' attribute that used in conjuction, will submit the current form to an action that is different than that specified in the enclosing <netui:form> tag. This works well when needing to submit the form to an intermediate action and keep the rest of the form around. It would be nice to have something similar surrounding a <netui:select> tag. Here's a the use case I'm interested in;
I have a form that has two select fields and a textArea. However, the two select fields are related, meaning that the value chosen in selectA then feeds the options within selectB. So, I would like an action to be called when the onChange event on selectA is called that will then update the values within selectB. However, I don't want to lose the entire form as the user may have input some value in the textArea. Then, when the user has filled the entire form, the action on the form itself is submitted and processed.
I think there might be a workaround for this specific use case, but this is a simplification of what I'm actually trying to accomplish (I've got many inter-related select boxes with many other things within the form) and I think solving this use case with same scenario that is used for the <netui:anchor> tag would solve my complex use case.
