Is there any benefit of having a numerically indexed array returned by toArray()? I mean this is QF2, breaking BC with QF is fine, and using element ids as array index is definitely something we should get. -- Regards/Mit freundlichen GrüÃen Christian Weiske -=â¡ Geeking around in the name of science since 1982 â¡=-

Hi Alexey, > Well, as I already said, Array renderer was designed to be used in > iteration scenario. This is still possible, even when element ids are used as array keys. > There isn't much added value with released QF2 > over iterating on QuickForm2 object directly, Could you explain that? I don't understand the sentence :/ -- Regards/Mit freundlichen GrüÃen Christian Weiske -= Geeking around in the name of science since 1982 =- |
