Thx, Derrell. My plan was to pass along the "regexp" in a closure (sort of):
b2.addListener("execute"
, function (e) { this._search(e,"regexp");}
, b2);
What I need is a way to get at the input text field (or find a common
parent with the element searchString, which would be cleaner).
Hmmm, I found getClass, I'll play with that. I also found getWidgetById
but not many places -- it looks like maybe I would have to set up a
registry for that?
cheers,
