Capturing the Contents of an HTML Form
The WinJS library does not support two-way data binding. Change notification is one-way. If you want to capture the contents of an HTML form then you need to do the work of retrieving the values of the form elements yourself.
The page in Listing 3.9 contains an HTML form for creating a new product. It has two INPUT elements for the product name and price (see Figure 3.7). The form uses a single data-win-bind
attribute. The FORM element has a data-win-bind
attribute that wires up a form submit handler.
