Hi Stefan,
I'm sorry - I don't mean to be confusing - I just left out code that I
thought was not immediately relevant, so as to not clutter up my
message.
As I showed before, in my lb_onchange() function I had:
var alert = lfuUserInfo.allAlerts[alert_ix];
and also:
var lfuUserInfo;
I have constructor functions as follows:
function constructUserInfo(username, password) {
this.username = username;
this.password = password;
this.user_id = null;
this.allAlerts = new Array();
this.isLoggedIn = false;
}
and for constructing alerts that are received in a XmlHttpResponse.
function constructAlert(alertItem) {//used with SimpleXmlParser
...
//Gets values such as this.alert_id, this.contact_name, etc.
...
}
As I can see from debug trace, these values are received properly.
So using SimpleXmlParser I place values in array lfuUserInfo.allAlerts
- such as in:
function getAlertsResponse(parser, alertList) {//used with
SimpleXmlParser
debug.trace("getAlertsResponse()");
if (alertList.length > 0) {
for (var i = 0; i < alertList.length ; i++) {
lfuUserInfo.allAlerts[lfuUserInfo.allAlerts.length] =
new
constructAlert(alertList[i]);
}
var newAlert = showAlerts();
}
else {
var newAlert = view.appendElement('<div>No new
alerts...</div>');
}
}
function showAlerts() {
debug.trace("showAlerts()");
for (var i=0; i<lfuUserInfo.allAlerts.length; i++) {
var alert = lfuUserInfo.allAlerts[i];
var alert_txt = alert.contact_name + '-' + alert.action_type;
var alert_item = '<item height="24" name="item0"><label
height="24"
align="center" valign="middle">' + alert_txt + '</label></item>';
var newAlert = listbox.appendElement(alert_item);
}
return newAlert;
}
So my question still remains - What is causing the detailsview to not
appear even though the
detailsView_onOpen() function is clearly being executed?
If you like I can send you a zip file of the gadget privately - that
may make it easier.
(Also, I did read the article at
http://code.google.com/apis/desktop/articles/e12.htm
- I based some of my gadget on it).
Kind regards
Colin Goldberg
