You are right, that is want I want. Things are somewhat different though, because since I'm using catalyst I also have the .tt-Files (HTML) and the .fb (form definition) to consider.

To make matters worse I'm working in an environment where the package ext (JS-Package) loads the html via ajax. JS inside of the html therefore will not be executed (in a consistent way, considering all browsers).

Because I (want to) use the same perl construct in several html-templates the predefined js-functions have to be able to identify the correct formbuilder-element. Eventually I ended up with this solution:

CGI::FormBuilder::Source::File lets me define an additional id, if I do so, formbuilder will use this and not create its own. That is true for the form element as well as for the input-elements.

Even better, in the html-template I can ask the formbuilder input object for its id. The only minor flaw is, that the id of the form object can not be found this way

So I have to enter that id in several files, which kind of bugs me and causes bugs ;-)

Guess, I'll have to live with it

Thanks anyway
