505015 - Selections are not persistent across submissions in the New Charts UI

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Reporting/Charting, defect)

Description

[Frédéric Buclin]

Attachment: patch, v1

When you select a category/subcategory/name and click "Add to List", the selection is lost, despite the code in templates takes care of that. The reason is that it conflicts with JS. I fixed that.

Also, I did some cleanup:
- the same ID was used twice, making the page to not pass HTML4 tests;
- I managed to use series_select for the 'name' select field thanks to a minor change in the template, avoiding code duplication between create-chart.html.tmpl and series-common.html.tmpl.

I tested my patch with Firefox, Opera, Safari, Google Chrome and IE 6 + 8.

Hi Frederic,

I'm at OSCON this week, so may not get to this until the week after (together with the other review you asked me to do). Is that going to be a problem?

I guess it's not a problem as these bugs are here for years. :) It would be interesting to have a discussion on IRC when you are back to see what is important to improve/implement in the charting system. Have fun!
