List Customers and Customer Form

With clever use of templates, it's easy to add <AppML> list objects and <AppML> Links between forms:

Instance

HTML - View
<h1>Customers</h1>
<div id="Form01"></div><br>
<div id="List01"></div><br>

<table id="Template01" class="appmltable" style="width:100%;display:none">
<tr>

<tr id="appml_row">
<td style="cursor:pointer" onclick="openForm('#CustomerID#')">
<img src="../style/images/appmlFolder.png"></td>
<td>#CustomerName#</td>
<td>#City#</td>
<td>#Country#</td>
</tr>
</table> 

<script src="appml.js"></script>
<script>
var customers,customerForm;
customers=new AppML("appml.php","Models/Customers");
customers.run("List01","Template01");

function openForm(id)
{
customerForm=new AppML("appml.php","Models/Customers");
customerForm.displayType="form";
customerForm.run("Form01","",id);
}
</script>
