Major Description
The LinkSubmit component currently renders a JavaScript function for every LinkSubmit on the page. This is problematic for me because I have a page which could have over 100 LinkSubmits on it (3 LinkSubmits per item with up to 50 items per page). The current JavaScript function which is rendered looks like:
function onclick_LinkSubmit_0()
{
var form = Tapestry.find('Form');
if (form.events.onsubmit_handler())
{ Tapestry.find('LinkSubmit_0').value = "T"; form.onsubmit = null; form.submit(); }}
The LinkSubmit component could, however, add a static JavaScript file which contains a single function which looks like:
function onclick_LinkSubmit(form, link)
{
var form = Tapestry.find(form);
if (form.events.onsubmit_handler())
{ Tapestry.find(link).value = "T"; form.onsubmit = null; form.submit(); }}
The values of 'form' and 'link' can be determined at script processing time and the function can be executed by creating a URL which look like:
<a href="javascript:onclick_LinkSubmit('Form', 'LinkSubmit_0');">Do Something</a>
This will substantially reduce the amount of JavaScript sent to the browser on a page which includes many LinkSubmits.
