Basic example for the formbutton

In this example, we are substituting the button for a form inside a button, so that the form is submitted when the button is clicked

hint: If you click the button, the button will submit a form to this page; in the submitted URL you can check that the name of the button appears as a parameter (the submit method is set to GET)

In this example we are using the library in a component that is not a button, but a link

go to github

Example for a cancellable task using AsyncTask button

In this example we have a task that will run for 5 seconds, but it is possibile to cancel the task

Important: if the task does not finish, the dialog will not be hidden. This is to protect the execution of the task.

async task

Extended example for the formbutton

The form button can also add some hidden fields, so that they are submitted along with the value of the button

Note: in this case we are adding two fields: x1 and randomvalue. The second is a javascript expression that will be calculated when clicking on the button

In this example we are changing the default values to set it in different languages, so that each value that is not defined, will get it from the globals
