[jiggy]

Hi Eric.Thanks for a elaborate reply.

But still i am not clear about somethings in you reply as mentioned below

If you are just filling out a form and not interacting with the rest of zimbra, you may want to just use zimbra as a wrapper. Create your webform using .jsp, serve it up, create a canvas window and pull it in. Then when you submit the form have it talk to the server that will host the application.

Queries :

1) not interacting with the rest of zimbra --- what kind of interaction you are talking about??

2) Create your webform using .jsp, serve it up, create a canvas window and pull it in. --- I know how to build forms in jsp,but pulling it in canvas ... i am not getting that.

Does it mean that if we call the jsp form using the below snippet of code,the form will get displayed in the canvas window i have specified as below...

<contentObject>
	<canvas type="window" width="300" height="600"/>
	<onClick>
		<actionUrl target="http://www.myserver.org/tasks/view/" >
	                <param name="id">${src.$1}</param>
		</actionUrl>
	</onClick>
</contentObject>

If you can provide a sample snippet for the same then it would be very helpful.

For your hurdle ,if you are not talking about the canvas element of the zimlet definition file ,and need to do tab ordering then here is what i have tried out and it is running fine.

function Com_Abc_Xyz() {
	Com_Abc_Xyz._instance = this;
}

Com_Abc_Xyz.getInstance = function () {
	return Com_Abc_Xyz._instance;
}
Com_Abc_Xyz.prototype = new ZmZimletBase;
Com_Abc_Xyz.prototype.constructor = Com_Abc_Xyz;

Com_Abc_Xyz.prototype.singleClicked =
function () {
	this.showTabForm();
}

Com_Abc_Xyz.prototype.showTabForm = 
function () {
	var view = new DwtComposite(this._appCtxt.getShell());	
	//
	this.tabView = new DwtTabView(view);
	//This will call your actual form building javascript
	this.myForm = new FormDisplay(this.tabView,this._appCtxt,this);
	view.setSize("550px", "400px");
	this.tabView.setSize("550px", "400px");	
	this.myForm.setSize("550px", "400px");	
	
	this.tabkeys = [];
	//This will push your tab options in the tab view.I have just added one if you want you can add it in the similar way as done below.
	this.tabkeys.push(this.tabView.addTab("Form", this.myForm));
	var canvas = new DisplayForm(this._appCtxt.getShell(),"Form Title",view);
	canvas.popup();
	
}

function DisplayForm(parent,title, view) {
	if (arguments.length == 0) return;
	DwtDialog.call(this, parent, null, title, [DwtDialog.CANCEL_BUTTON ], null);
	if (!view) {
		this.setContent(this._contentHtml());
	} else {
		this.setView(view);
	}

	this._appCtxt = this.shell.getData(ZmAppCtxt.LABEL);
	this._msgDialog = this._appCtxt.getMsgDialog();
		
};

DisplayForm.prototype = new ZmDialog;
DisplayForm.prototype.constructor = DisplayForm

;

Awaiting a reply soon.

Thanks.
