Submitting a Form with event data

Normally, you only use forms when editing details of a single event using a modal dialog or in a standalone page.

When working with the Scheduler, every change is usually submitted immediately using a special AJAX call to the backend API.

You can take a look at this tutorial to see a hotel reservation application that uses backend calls to save the changes after user actions:

It is also possible to save the changes to a queue and submit them and once using a "Save" button (using an AJAX call) but I wouldn't recommend that unless there is a good reason to do so. Handling the queue and managing the state adds extra complexity.

I won't literally be creating events with this calendar, it's more of a weekly availability schedule (available from 8-5 Monday through Friday) for example.

Users will need to make several changes, then save them. I wasn't sure of the best way to take the events on the calendar and make them "submitable." The input tag was one idea.

If the calendar serves as a form here you can simply create the events in the calendar using the API (see https://doc.daypilot.org/calendar/event-creating/).

The events are stored in events.list so you will be able to either send it as a JSON string or convert it to a set of <input type="hidden"> fields on submit.

Ok thanks. The event tags will have data I need so maybe I will convert those into json upon submit.
