let TimedObserver check if Form or Element is disabled
Reported by defel | April 18th, 2008 @ 02:28 PM | in 1.6.1
If I use the Form.Observer or the Form.Element.Observer and I make them disabled, and enable them later, the TimedObserver will overwrite the last value with an empty value, while the Form/Field is disabled.
This is because, if Form-Fields are disabled they don't return any values and I can't edit them, too. So it make no sense to save this (empty) state as the last value in the TimedObserver.
I have changed the Observer to return the last Value if the Element is disabled.
I have tested this patch under linux with FF 2.0.0.11 and Konqueror 3.5.8

ps.: With this, you can use the following code:
Form.Observer('my_form', 0.5, function(form, values) { form.disable(); new Ajax.Request('/backendAjax.php', { method: 'POST', postBody: 'some Post body .. ', onComplete: function(t) { // make some foo and enable form again; form.enable(); } }); }If the Form-Values changed, the form gets disabled, a Ajax.Request is sent (which may took more 0.5 seconds) and the form gets enabled when all things to do are done.
