I have one search input field and several search initiation buttons, each triggering a different kind of search. Normally I would have the button handler find the search input field by name and get its value and send that to the server. But I just spent over an hour scanning the doc and cannot find anything close, or even how I would give a widget a name. In HTML this is getElementById, of course, working with the ID attribute.
Another way for me to go would be to have the containing chunk of the framework have an element "searchValue" and then have both the search input field and buttons (a) look for the designated ascendant by type (say, "SearchPanel") and then take the searchValue element from that. But then I am not sure how to do that either. In other threads I learned I should use getLayoutParent to navigate up the hierarchy, but neither did I see a way to test an object's class. I will be diving into the source code, but hints are welcome. cheers, kenny ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ qooxdoo-devel mailing list qooxdoo-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qooxdoo-devel
