Form Grid extends the default functionalities of a typical grid element. Unlike the generic grid element that only accepts standard text field for its inputs, the Enhanced Grid Form Element captures data by making reference to another form element. Hence, one can take full advantage of what a typical form element has to offer, e.g., validation and formatting. |
