What I meant is that in your app structure, you'll typically have a call to initBrowserHistory pretty early on. That will fire the initial placeChangeEvent. When that happens, the activity containing the menu hasn't event been started yet (or likely instantiated even), so the placeChange handler isn't available to listen for that event.
That is of course assuming you follow the typical activities/places set up with multiple activity mappers, etc - Shaun On Mar 3, 2012, at 6:26 AM, Chris Price <[email protected]> wrote: Does this line not fire that event for you - https://github.com/chrisprice/menubodyexample/blob/master/src/com/scottlogic/cprice/menubodyexample/client/menu/Menu.java#L48 On 2 Mar 2012 20:57, "Shaun Tarves" <[email protected]> wrote: > This worked out fine.
