Thank you.

Another issue I ran into was the behaviour of the dojo widget in setting
POST/GET params.

Assumed I have a widget with the name 'foo', then the 'foo' param will
contain the value the user has entered into the combobox and
'foo_selected' will contain the "id" of the selected value, if it was
selected from the possibilities provided by my dataUrl. This isn't very
handy, especially when using DBIx::Class::HTMLWidget, which uses

$dbic->set_column( $element_name, $result->param($element_name) );

and therefor uses the entered value and not its id, which is
inconsistent, considered that the H::W::E::Select would post the
selected id in the 'foo' param.


I thought of different workarounds for this problem, but all of them
seem to be quite hacky. I'd prefer if the dojo combobox would just
return the selected id. Is it possible to override that in
H::W::Dojo::Autocomplete? I'd like to avoid hacking dojo.


Regards,
Flo
