[Html-widget] Fwd: [rt.cpan.org #20313] embed() discards top level controls

[Carl Franks]

I'm forwarding this to the list, as today's the first day of my
holidays, so I won't deal with it on principle ;)

If anyone wants to comment or take any other action via RT, it'd be
very much appreciated.

I'll be back hanging around in 3 weeks, 1 day and counting!

Cheers,
Carl

HTML-Widget-1.07, Perl 5.8.5, Centos 4 Linux

If you have a widget, add some elements, then embed some other forms,
the initially added elements fail to be rendered.

Example code:

----

#! /usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use HTML::Widget;

my $w = HTML::Widget->new->method('post')->action('/foo/bar');
$w->element( 'Textfield', 'age' )->label('Age')->size(3);

my $w2 = HTML::Widget->new('foo')->action('/foo');

# Add a standalone element to the containing w2
$w2->element( 'Textfield', 'allbymyself' )->label('All By Myself')->size(3);

#print $w2->process . "\n\n";

my $w3 = HTML::Widget->new('bar');
$w3->element( 'Textfield', 'baz' );

$w2->embed($w);
$w2->embed($w3);

my $f = $w2->process;

print $f;

---

Example output:

<form action="/foo" id="foo" method="post"><fieldset
id="foo_widget"><label for="foo_widget_age"
id="foo_widget_age_label">Age<input class="textfield"
id="foo_widget_age" name="age" size="3" type="text"
/></label></fieldset><fieldset id="foo_bar"><input class="textfield"
id="foo_bar_baz" name="baz" type="text" /></fieldset></form>

Note the absence of the 'allbymyself' element.
