<H3>Class StickyForm</H3>
<HR>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>
<PRE>import StickyForm</PRE>
<PRE>class StickyForm(Form)
def __init__(self, cgi = None, state=None,**kw)
string __module__ = 'StickyForm'
def __str__(self)
def restore(self,filename)
def save(self,filename)
<A HREF="#def with_state(self,input)">def with_state(self,input)</A>
# Methods inherited by StickyForm from Form
<A HREF="#def append(self, *items)">def append(self, *items)</A>
</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>Works like a Form with the addition of a state attribute, a
save method and a restore method. A form's state is a FormState
instance which holds the default values for all form elements.</P>
<P>save tells the FormState instance to save itself to a file.</P>
<P>restore tells the FormState instance to restore itself from a file.</P>
<H3><A NAME="def append(self, *items)">def append(self, *items)</A></H3>
<P>Append any number of items to the form container.
</P>
<H3><A NAME="def with_state(self,input)">def with_state(self,input)</A></H3>
<P>Here's where the actual work gets done. Each Input, Select
and Textarea object in the form is modified to reflect it's
value as defined in the form's state. </P>
<H2>You can initalize the state 3 ways, with a:</H2>
<DL>
<DT><B> filename</B><DD>this loads the state of the form from a file
<DT><B> FieldStorage</B><DD>this sets the state of the form from the
information in the FieldStorage
<DT><B> FormState</B><DD>this sets the state to the FormState instance
</DL>
<H2>For example:</H2>
<PRE> form=StickyForm(state="/tmp/form.txt")</PRE>
<PRE> fs=cgi.FieldStorage()
form=StickyForm(state=fs)</PRE>
<PRE> fs=FormState()
form=StickyForm(state=fs)
