<h1>Editable Grid (1)</h1>
A table built with a Form around a Grid to allow creation of up to ${LIST_SIZE} persons.<br/><br/>
To demonstrate a server-side validation error, leave one or more fields of a person empty.<br/>
<div class="eg">
<form t:type="form" t:id="personsCreate">
<t:errors/>
<table t:type="Grid" t:source="persons" t:row="person" t:model="model"
t:include="firstname,lastname,region,startdate">[Persons Grid here]
<p:firstNameCell>
<input t:id="firstName" t:type="TextField" t:value="person.firstName" t:validate="maxlength=10" size="10"/>
</p:firstNameCell>
<p:lastNameCell>
<input t:id="lastName" t:type="TextField" t:value="person.lastName" t:validate="maxlength=10" size="10"/>
</p:lastNameCell>
<p:regionCell>
<input t:id="region" t:type="Select" t:value="person.region"/>
</p:regionCell>
<p:startDateCell>
<input t:id="startDate" t:type="DateField" t:value="person.startDate" t:format="prop:dateFormat" size="14"/>
</p:startDateCell>
</table><br/>
<input type="submit" value="Save"/>
<a t:type="eventlink" t:event="refresh" href="#" style="margin-left: 5px;">Refresh</a>
</form>
</div>
Features:<br/>
<ul>
<li>On error, we redisplay the list. Tapestry redirects the browser to redisplay the page.</li>
<li>Your input values are redisplayed correctly because a feature of Form is that it carries them through the redirect and redisplays them.</li>
</ul>
For more flexibility, see the Editable Loop examples.<br/><br/>
