Class FormResponse

This class collects all output that needs to be returned after an Form-Request to the client. It automatically determines if it needs to send back javascript after an Ajax-Request or just redirect to another page (on a normal request).

FormResponse is also responsible for keeping the client- and serverside in sync after an HTTP-Request by collecting javascript-commands (which mostly trigger subsequent update-calls by Ajax.) Use the output as a return-value for Ajax-based saving methods. Be sure to check if the call is acutally "ajaxy" by checking Director::is_ajax(). It is the developers responsibility to include this into his custom form-methods. Use the Request-Parameter 'htmlonly' to enforce a pure HTML-response from the client-side.

Example: A {@TableField} is in an incorrect state after being saved, as it still has rows marked as "new" which are already saved (and have an ID) in the database. By using AjaxSynchroniser we make sure that every instance is refreshed by Ajax and reflects the correct state.

Caution:

FormResponse assumes that prototype.js is included on the client-side. (We can't put it into Requirements because it has to be included BEFORE an AjaxSynchroniser is called).
Please DON'T escape literal parameters which are passed to FormResponse, they are escaped automatically.
Some functions assume a {LeftAndMain}-based environment (e.g. load_form())
