Manual:HTMLForm Tutorial 3/fr

Any kind of field can be generated by HTMLForm, field-specific options will be described here. Generic options (those any field can be assigned) are described on Tutorial 2.

Introduction
In $formDescriptor, there are two ways to declare a field type:

Class
First you can set the class attribute (do not mix or confuse with cssclass)


 * HTMLTextField: A simple text field
 * HTMLFloatField: A simple text field with float (number) validation
 * HTMLIntField: A simple text field with integer validation
 * HTMLUserTextField: A simple text field for user names
 * HTMLTextAreaField: An extended text field
 * HTMLSelectField: A dropdown menu
 * HTMLSelectOrOtherField: A dropdown menu with an 'other' option that toggles a simple text field on
 * HTMLSelectAndOtherField: A dropdown menu and a simple text field
 * HTMLMultiSelectField: List of checkboxes
 * HTMLRadioField: Radio buttons
 * HTMLCheckField: Single checkbox
 * HTMLCheckMatrix: 2D matrix of checkboxes
 * HTMLInfoField: Just text, no input
 * HTMLSubmitField: Additional submit button (HTMLForm always adds one by default)
 * HTMLHiddenField: Hidden field (data you need to send, but not shown or edited)
 * HTMLTagFilter: Tags filter
 * HTMLSizeFilterField: File's size filter
 * HTMLUsersMultiselectField: Select Multiple Users
 * HTMLTitleTextField: Textbox to take Page Name
 * HTMLDateTimeField: Date and Time Selector

Type
Before in this tutorial, we used class, now we're going to use type. type provides a shortcut to class, but class takes priority. Therefore, you should not use both!


 * text: HTMLTextField
 * password: HTMLTextField
 * textarea: HTMLTextAreaField
 * select: HTMLSelectField
 * radio: HTMLRadioField
 * multiselect: HTMLMultiSelectField
 * check: HTMLCheckField
 * checkmatrix: HTMLCheckMatrix
 * int: HTMLIntField
 * float: HTMLFloatField
 * info: HTMLInfoField
 * selectorother: HTMLSelectOrOtherField
 * selectandother: HTMLSelectAndOtherField
 * submit: HTMLSubmitField
 * hidden: HTMLHiddenField
 * tagfilter: HTMLTagFilter
 * sizefilter: HTMLSizeFilterField
 * user: HTMLUserTextField
 * usersmultiselect: HTMLUsersMultiselectField
 * url: HTMLTextField
 * title: HTMLTitleTextField
 * date: HTMLDateTimeField
 * time: HTMLDateTimeField
 * datetime: HTMLDateTimeField
 * limitselect: HTMLSelectField
 * email: HTMLTextField (supposedly for HTML5 client-side validation, NO SERVER-SIDE VALIDATION HERE!)
 * toggle: HTMLCheckFieldsimilar to check, but through use of  default state can be set to checked
 * edittools: HTMLEditToolsinserts system message, a parsed content of MediaWiki:Edittools
