get, although I was hoping for this.datapath.appendChild(...), so the
class would work no matter where its datapath referred to in the XML
node hierarchy

Let's say you've got a datapath named "dp", then you can access the
dataset for "dp" either by calling "dp.getDataset()" or by using the
xpath-query "dp.xpathQuery('/')". In both cases you don't need to
use a direct reference to the dataset in your code.
Is it this what you are looking for?

Andre,
Thanks for the tip on: http://jira.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/
LPP-8323
As long as you don't update the underlying datasource, any new
replication won't preserve the previously entered text (except for
pooling replication, just as you described). So in your case, you
need to call "datapath.updateData()" for every "onvalue" /
"onblur" / ... event on your edittext.
In reference to my comment:

Some alternatives:
- dsSurvey.getFirstChild().getNextSibling().appendChild(...)
- dsSurvey.getLastChild().appendChild(...)
- dsSurvey.getPointer().xpathQuery("/children[1]").appendChild(...)
I was looking for a way to add a note based on the relative
datapath of the view, but couldn't figure out what suntax would do
that (rather than using the global reference to the dataset
"dsSurvey" in this case)
Thanks,
Sarah
