[Bese-devel] simple submit sans javascript.

[Drew Crampsie]

Imagine my surprise when, after updating to ucw_dev, ALL my application 
stopped working!

The culprit? forms now require dojo to work. I like dojo as much as the 
next guy, but i rarely initially develop in an environment where it is 
available.

To tell you the truth, i've never much liked the fact that forms used 
Javascript to begin with, but lived with it until now :)

anyways, patchy patchy applied to ucw_public and attached. Personally, i 
think that SIMPLE-FORMS should become the default, and the complex, 
bulky, page-bloating javascript producing forms should be used only if 
the user specifically wants them.

Thoughts?

* Add a <ucw:simple-submit and <ucw:simple-form that do not require 
javascript.

<ucw:simple-submit uses a BUTTON tag to render a submit button that does 
not require javascript

To make this happen, i added a method to find-action that operates on a 
list,
grabbing the car and using it as the action id. When a form is submitted 
with an extra action parameter,
the last one submitted (first in the list) is taken to be the action-id.

This allows forms without javascript!! SIMPLE-SUBMIT will work in the 
standard UCW:FORM,
SIMPLE-FORM is a form without the JS cruft, but will not work with 
standard <UCW:* submit buttons.
