Can't create snippet from the <form> element about enfocus HOT 7 CLOSED

I should be able to test this today. I am very interested in what is happening here as there should be no difference in a form vs a div as long as the id's don't conflict. Does the form have a name element.

from enfocus.

No, it doesn't.

Also it skips the

    <script> . . . </script> 

elements. Sad. I need scripts in my snippets...

Can you update your web sample with something that reproduce this issue and
the expected result so I can try to reproduce it.

Looks like that might not be a bug, but a feature...

Although this feature is not so convinent to my mind. I have updated my project (https://github.com/dbushenko/websample), please have a look. In main.cljs I create the snippet my-snippet which contains the following html:

<div id="mytest">
  <script type="text/javascript">
alert("Hello, Creig!");
  </script>
  <div id="this">
  </div>
  Hello from Enfocus!
</div>

If you open the file snippets.html in your browser, you will certainly see the popup message. But when I create a snippet from this html and inject that snippet into main.html page, the javascript code is not evaluated. I cannot run any code when the snippet is shown; also I cannot add any definitions. E.g. when I change the js code to the following

  function myfunc() { alert("Hello, Creig!"); }

I still cannot use the function 'myfunc()'.

I don't know whether I have to complain about this issue, probably this behavior is explained by the architecture design.

It is an architectural thing that prevents this but you might be able to get around it. let me think about it for awhile but I was thinking you could have a custom transform that could be run on script tag in the snippet (after you add it to the dom) that would eval that scripts. I have not tried the below snippet but it kind of what I am thinking.

(def evaljs
    (em/trans [node]  (js/eval (.innerHTML node))))

I am closing this issue because its not something we can fix and a work around was found.
