I have written a trivial app which works on Firefox but not on IE and others.
I have the handling of buttons and signals confused.
So I have now tried this even simpler tester app.
I have:
###################################################################
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Mochikit Button Tester</title>
<meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="content-type">
<script src="js/MochiKit.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="test">Test Here</div>
<script>
var handler = function(e){
alert("in handler");
}
var but = BUTTON({'id':'testButton'},"Hit Me");
// Version ONE
//connect('testButton','onclick',handler);
// Version TWO
connect(but,'onclick',handler);
swapDOM($('test'),but);
</script>
</body>
</html>
###################################################################
Version ONE of the connect fails with:
src has no properties
connect(null, "onclick", function(), undefined)
Version TWO works.
In the documentation on connect I see:-
connect(src, signal, dest[, func]):
Connects a signal to a slot, and return a unique identifier that can be
used to disconnect that signal.
src is the object that has the signal. You may pass in a string, in which
case, it is interpreted as an id for an HTML element.
What have I missed?
Also I read in the Docs:
Using Signal for DOM Events
When using MochiKit.Signal, do not use the browser's native event API. That
means, no onclick="blah", no elem.addEventListener(...), and certainly no
elem.attachEvent(...).
but in the Mailing lists I see references (from Bob) to using onclick etc.
In my original code I used the onclick="blah" and it worked beautifully - but
only on Firefox. So I am now trying to mend my ways.
Please can someone point me as a simple example showing me the right (and
wrong?) ways to connect handlers to form elements - that will work cross
platform.
Ta,
Dave
