Class: FormLayout

.ui.FormLayout(configopt)

new FormLayout(configopt)

FormLayouts are used to wrap FieldsetLayouts when you intend to use browser-based form submission for the fields instead of handling them in JavaScript. Form layouts can be configured with an HTML form action, an encoding type, and a method using the #action, #enctype, and #method configs, respectively. See the [OOUI documentation on MediaWiki] [1] for more information and examples. Only widgets from the InputWidget family support form submission. It includes standard form elements like checkboxes, radio buttons and text fields, as well as some fancier controls. Some controls have both regular and InputWidget variants, for example OO.ui.DropdownWidget and OO.ui.DropdownInputWidget – only the latter support form submission and often have simplified APIs to match the capabilities of HTML forms. See the [OOUI documentation on MediaWiki] [2] for more information about InputWidgets. [1]: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OOUI/Layouts/Forms [2]: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OOUI/Widgets/Inputs
